Different Types of Metal Fabrication Processes

 

There are numerous types of metal fabrication processes used to transform raw metal materials into useful parts and components by using various metal working tools and fabrication machinery. Some of the more frequently used processes include:

Stamping: The metal is pressed in between a stamp die to create a raised section of the metal.

Punching: A punching tool is used to punch holes in the metal to create the desired part or component.

Cutting: Various cutting methods are used to cut the metal to the right size.

Folding: Sometimes the metal needs to be bent at a specific angle, and folding is used to achieve this result.

Machining: Machining processes carefully remove metal and reshape it into the end product and involve using drills, CNC lathes, and other such machinery.

Welding: This process involves heating two pieces of metal together.

Shearing: Shearing is creating one long single cut on metal sheets to cut it to the correct size.
