What is custom steel fabrication?

Custom steel fabrication is the process of different methods of shaping steel components and parts into finished products. It can be through bending, cutting, stamping, and molding raw steel material. Finished products are used in a variety of applications in various industries.

Our custom steel fabrication service is different because we use superior methods to achieve the desired results. With our quality over-quantity mindset, we can exceed your expectations. We also have a team of experts that are passionate about their work and take pride in every project they complete.

Moreover, we use only the best materials to ensure that each project is built with quality in mind. We specialize in stainless steel, aluminum, steel, and abrasion-resisting steel. All of these materials are chosen for their strength, durability, and ability to withstand extreme conditions.

Why use stainless steel for metal fabrications?

Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy, a prevalent choice among fabricators. It offers myriad benefits, such as its resistance to heat and staining. Stainless steel also has 10.5% chromium, which makes it resistant to corrosion. Additionally, it’s durable and low maintenance.

Some frequent alloying elements in stainless steel are nickel, magnesium, molybdenum, and nitrogen. Depending on the application, different alloys offer distinct advantages.

Advantages of using stainless steel for custom fabrication

Using stainless steel for custom fabrication offers tons of benefits. Some of these are:

• Versatility: Can be used for various applications, such as food processing, chemical storage, and medical equipment.
• Aesthetics: Provides a clean and modern look.
• Strength: Able to maintain its shape and structure under extreme conditions.
• Low maintenance: Easy to clean and requires little upkeep
• Long-lasting: It’s resistant to corrosion, staining, and heat.

If you choose stainless steel, you’ll be sure to receive durable end products that will last a long time without the need to replace or maintain them.

How is custom steel fabrication done?

At Reinke & Schomann, Inc., we use three standard steel fabrication methods. We decide on the technique depending on the client’s requirements and what they want to achieve. They are forming, rolling, and bending.

Cutting

Custom steel fabrication involves cutting to create custom structures, parts, and products. It utilizes high-def plasma, laser, sheering, and sawing processes.

• High Def Plasma cutting uses a powerful electrical gas stream to accurately cut materials such as steel plates and shapes. The machine is guided by CAD software to ensure precise results.
• Laser cutting is used for intricate cuts that require pinpoint accuracy with minimal material distortion. This process melts the material with a beam of concentrated light, allowing for more complex shapes than traditional methods.
• Shearing is often used for large sheets of flat stock or wide bars of material where straight lines are required, such as in the production of boxes, frames, or any other item that requires a rectangular shape. The shear cuts the material along a straight line in one single motion and can be used for long pieces of material such as steel sheets or bars.
• Sawing is used to cut large amounts of material into smaller parts or components. It utilizes cutting blades with teeth to carve out desired shapes from metal materials such as steel plates, sheet metal, and round bar stock.

Forming and Rolling

Forming is a method that many fabricators commonly use to achieve the desired shape. With forming, force is used to manipulate the material and get it into the shape you want. It also has a similar process to bending, where metal forming processes may include machining or folding.

• Pressing shapes into the material for die forming
• Using a special machine to fold a material

On the other hand, rolling is where the steel material is fed through high-pressure rollers. It shapes the metal according to the specifications of the client. But we only use this method at the beginning of the operation to create sheets and stock materials. It’s because there’s a possibility that the pressure of the rolling can distort the punched shapes.

Welding

The most commonly used metal fabrication process is welding, which involves using extreme heat and pressure to bind two or more metal pieces together. We also add a stronger alloy at the joint of the parent metals to reinforce the seam.

Common industry applications for custom steel fabrication

Custom steel fabrication is made in a wide range of applications, such as:

• Medical applications: The stainless steel’s biocompatibility and hygienic characteristics provide the necessary properties used in medical tools and instruments.

• Food-processing: Stainless steel is commonly used to manufacture products used in food processing and other equipment used for the industry.

• Construction: Buildings mostly have stainless steel parts due to their high strength and incredibly corrosion-resistant capabilities.

• Transportation: Automotive, aerospace, rail, and marine industries rely on stainless steel parts and components.
