Metal fabrication or Stainless steel fabrication is similar to cutting, gluing, drilling and tapping on metals. However, metal fabrication involves use of specialised tooling tools like hand tools. Stainless steel fabrication is growing in the aerospace industry due to increasing requirements for lightweight aircraft.
Hardware, like hand tools and mechanical tools are used extensively in machinery manufacturing and assembly activities. Once the tool is designed and created, fabrication takes place. Stainless steel fabrication is closely related to industrial fabrication and is estimated to be the fastest growing segment.
Frequency of using these tools vary with varying type of manufacturing industry. Hardware fabrication ranges from small scale to large scale processes. Manufacturing activities requiring precision, speed and volume are the major drivers of the industry.
Metal fabrication is related to fabrication and metal fabrication equipment and metal fabrication equipment is a major driving force in the market of metal fabrication.
The primary driving force for the market is expected to be the use of steel fabrication equipment in the aerospace industry. Steel fabrication is expected to increase due to increase in the demand for aircraft. Aerospace is a rapidly expanding industry. Increasing demand for light weight aircraft is expected to drive the market of metals and fabrication equipment.
This industry is made up of three parts. Steel fabrication involves metal fabrication equipment, steel fabrication tools and materials. The steel fabrication tools and materials are applied to fabricate steel. The steel fabrication tools and material allow metal fabrication machine to be used more accurately and with increased production rate. The three main types of steel fabrication tools are cutting tools, forming tools and bending tools.
Equipment
The steel fabrication equipment is divided into press steel fabrication equipment, welding machines, linear bearing machines and robotic welding equipment. The press steel fabricators are inclined to produce metal parts to supply raw materials and support assembly of a product. Metal fabrication tools or materials includes metals like stainless steel, brass, chrome, cobalt chrome, magnesium and various alloys of iron and steel.
These materials are used to manufacture various products including stainless steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Stainless steel fabrication comprises of stainless steel fabrication tools, stainless steel fabrication tools and metal fabrication tools. The steel fabrication tools are fabricated using stainless steel fabrication tools and materials. Stainless steel fabrication tools are employed in different industries.
