Sheet Metal Fabrication
Your sheet metal finish depends on how you plan to use the product. We offer several types of finishes to bind, coat, and protect the metal and ensure it lasts.
Welding
We use two main types of welding: gas metal arc (MIG) welding and tungsten arc (TIG) welding. MIG welding uses a consumable MIG wire electrode to create electricity that heats the metal and forms a weld. TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with an electric arc.
Our team knows which type of welding works best for the project at hand, and we’ll apply our expertise to get the job done.
Insertion and Riveting
Using CNC machining, we can insert hardware and riveting to secure your sheet metal. We install rivets, fasteners, and other types of hardware when two pieces of sheet metal may not join neatly with methods like welding. For example, with sheets of varying sizes, we often install rivets to join them more firmly.
Powder Coating
Powder coating gives your sheet metal a more durable and aesthetically-pleasing finish. Like paint, powder coating comes in many colors. However, it offers a harder finish, allowing your sheet metal to hold up against minor impacts that would cause chips, scratches, and dents in regular paint.
Plating
Plating coats your sheet metal in a liquid that hardens and forms a solid finish. Most often, we use anodizing methods, as well as zinc and chromate, to coat the metal. Plating provides a highly durable finish, and, like powder coating, it improves your sheet metal’s appearance.
