Metal Forming Services

Metal forming is a primary manufacturing method where a metal workpiece or substrate is formed through various high-pressure and temperature techniques. The force applied during forming exceeds the yield strength where straight hardening occurs.

It’s one of the most widely used manufacturing techniques available. Additionally, different types of metal forming are available. They can be grouped according to various techniques and depending on how the force is applied.

These techniques are as follows:

Bending: Bending is a flexible metal forming process that utilizes a brake press machine or something similar. The metal sheet is placed over a die block that punch-presses the metal sheet without creating a hole or cutting the material.
Roll forming: Roll forming involves continually feeding a long strip of metal by passing it through successive sets of rollers to produce a particular cross-sectional shape. It’s performed incrementally until the desired cross-section is achieved.
Extrusion: Extrusion is when a metal substrate is forced through a die with a specific cross-section shape. Here, aluminum is the primary metal of choice because it’s affordable and softer than other types of metals.
Stamping: A flat metal sheet is placed into a stamping press with a tool and die. These components apply pressure to the material until a new shape is cut and formed.
Forging: Localized and compressive forces are employed after heating the material until it becomes malleable enough to shape the metal easily.

Some applications of commercial metal forming include the following:

Hooks
Gears
Aircraft components
Engines
Hardware
Power tools
Telecom products
Automobile parts
Pipelines

Benefits of metal forming:

Less waste: Metal forming doesn’t accumulate waste, so there’s a massive potential for cost savings.
Better mechanical properties: The product has better mechanical properties, such as higher strength and toughness.
High precision: The forming process produces precise parts with exact measurements and tight tolerances.
Efficient production: It’s a quick method for large-volume output without compromising quality, especially for projects with strict deadlines.
Consistent quality: The product is consistent from one piece to another, with uniform shape and size.

Metal forming is widely used in numerous industries due to its versatility. With many techniques available, we can provide quality outcomes and reliable results that match your exact project specifications.

Metal Rolling

Rolling is one of the many metal-forming techniques available, which is also one of the most critical manufacturing steps involving metal sheets. Here, two types of metal rolling can be used: hot and cold rolling. The main difference between the two is how they are processed.

What are the differences between hot and cold rolling?

Hot Rolling

In hot rolling, metal has been rolled at high temperatures or just above the recrystallization temperatures of the material. This temperature allows for the metal to be easily shaped, formed, and made into larger sizes. Most of the time, the material fed through a sheet metal roller is of larger pieces, such as slabs, blooms, and other semi-finished casting products.

The material must begin at room temperature for smaller operations and then gradually be heated. The temperature is monitored throughout the hot rolling process to ensure it remains above the recrystallization temperature.

Common applications:

Truck frames
Pipes and tubes
Railroad tracks and car parts
Mainframe parts (beams and columns)

Benefits of hot rolled steel:

More malleable and can be turned into different shapes
Only slight distortions
Enhanced ductility and toughness

Cold Rolling

Colled rolled metals are rolled below the recrystallization temperature when the material is at room temperature. The strength increases to about 20%, allowing for tighter tolerances and a more enhanced surface finish. Some products that undergo cold rolling include rods, sheets, bars, and strips.

Cold-rolled steel is just hot-rolled steel that was further processed by allowing them to cool down at room temperature. After that, they were annealed or temper rolled. Cold-rolled steels have closer dimensional tolerances with a broader range of surface finishes than hot-rolled steels.

Common applications:

Structural parts
Metal furniture
Frying pans
Home appliances
Metal containers

Benefits of cold rolled steel:

Ideal for more precise applications
More rigid and more robust than hot-rolled steel
Many surface finishes to choose from for an aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Custom Steel Fabrication of Metal Parts & Components

Custom steel fabrication is the customizable process of fabricating a specific product to achieve desired results. Therefore, it offers flexibility that no other fabrication method can provide. It’s also best used for projects requiring a particular shape and size without losing integrity.

Custom fabrication is an essential manufacturing process for application-specific products, parts, and components where we can utilize our different manufacturing capabilities to produce a single product. In addition, we use state-of-the-art equipment and machinery for precise and accurate outcomes that are second to none.

Why opt for custom steel fabrication over stock fabrication?

Component compatibility: Since a component is produced through custom fabrication, the possibility of its compatibility with the project is higher. Certain specifications are followed to ensure they work according to the design. Factors such as friction, surface chemical reactions, and dimensional fit are also considered during the process.
More durable products: Custom fabrication can manufacture more durable products by choosing the suitable material to match its intended application. We can advise on the best materials to complement the project while ensuring they last long, even if exposed to stressful and harsh environments.
Increased efficiency: Some products can be produced with two different manufacturing methods, which can delay turnaround and affect your overall operation. With custom fabrication, we choose the most optimal techniques available to ensure that we meet your needs without wasting time, money, and resources. We prioritize increasing production time by streamlining our processes for a faster return.

A versatile manufacturing process is required in industries where unique applications require specialized parts and components. Sometimes, these aren’t readily available as stock products. However, we can create the exact part you need for your project with custom fabrication. Thus, it’s essential to consider if this process is necessary for a better result.
