Custom metal fabricating allows clients to design their metal pieces, tools and parts according to the specifications needed for any project. From start to finish with 4 Way Metal, the customer has the last say and the benefit of our experience.
Sufficient planning and design of custom products increases their structural strength, quality, and correct dimensions. With the help of experts, metal fabricating can be optimized to avoid waste and increase quality.
With conventional and modern fabrication, we can work on nickel, copper, magnesium, aluminum, iron, brass, magnesium, gold, tin titanium, and silver.
The method that is used for any particular project depends on the materials used, the intended purpose of the product, and its geometry. Some of the most useful processes for custom metal fabrication are:
- Milling. A milling machine cuts non-circular holes into the metal.
- Welding. Combines pressure and heat to join several pieces of metal.
- Extrusion. A ram creates pipes, wiring, and other cylindrical products.
- Drawing. Draws molten metal using a tensile force in a tapered die.
- Casting. Molds hot liquid metal and cool down to harden.
- Forging. It shapes and forms metal by applying comprehensive force.
- Turning. It uses a cutting tool to shape the metal as it is being rotated.
- Drilling. A drill bit makes circular holes into the metal.
- Punching. Produces decorative indentations by punching the metal into shaped turrets.
Custom metal fabricating is key in the development process of many products in every stage. 4 Way Metal can provide technical expertise and modern capabilities to create a customized solution. Contact us today to learn more.
