  1. Steel Fabrication Has Many Uses When steel is used in the construction process; the substance has to be custom shaped to fit pre existing templates. This practice is referred to as steel fabrication. This job is carried out by specialist steel fabricators, which is a little different than a machine store, although some businesses may combine both practices in 1 location. Generally, prior to a construction project starts, a fabrication company bids on the task of shaping the steel parts. After the bidding is won, the firm then goes to work making the steel components onto a made to order basis. Steel can be shaped in a variety of ways like drilling, burning, cutting, bending, grinding, punching and welding. The two most common types of welding are gas welding arc welding. Shaping of this steel is typically done at the fabrication shop and the pieces are transported into the construction site and set in place. It's used in many different industries like automotive, construction, marine, transport, military, and personal endeavors. The method may be used for very small jobs like making nails as well as enormous ones like making ships. There’s a great demand for this service and skilled employees who understand how to perform it as steel is such a favorite construction material. It's comprised of carbon and iron in addition to other alloy materials such as vanadium, manganese, tungsten, and chromium depending upon its intended usage. For example spring steel has very little metal, alloy steel has only non-carbon components, stainless steel fabrication process has at least 10.5 percent chromium, and managing steel contains nickel. This science has progressed along with technology throughout the years. Metal fabrication itself has existed for centuries. Early blacksmiths practiced a form of the skill by hand with a hammer and flame in earlier times. Today much of the work is carried out automatically by complex machines. High tech gear requires skilled operators in order to safely and accurately fabricates steel to exact specifications.
