While stainless steel is often the choice of metal for its non-corrosive properties, there are certain contaminants which can damage the protective layer of custom stainless-steel fabrication components. For this reason, it’s always best to take certain preventative measures to ensure that any stainless-steel components or pieces are kept safe from exposure. What causes stainless […]

If you’re considering hot vs cold rolled steel processing, how do you know which is best for you? Let’s take a closer look… When it comes to metal fabrication one of the most common forms of metal processing is known as rolling. This is carried out to make a sheet or piece of metal uniform […]

Pre-engineered Buildings (PEBs) refer to manufactured steel building structures that are shipped and installed on-site to construct buildings more quickly. They can be used in industrial, commercial and domestic situations and may be designed by builders or contractors. Buildings that are commonly pre-engineered include factory warehouses, showrooms, supermarkets, schools and stadiums. Unlike traditional buildings, pre-engineered […]

Steel is one of the most commonly used materials in the world and is a primary ingredient for practically everything from infrastructure to construction and even shipbuilding. Strong, versatile, flexible, and corrosion resistant, it’s used in practically every application you can think of. However, steel wouldn’t exit without raw materials such as iron. This leads […]

Whether you’re looking for a steel fabricator in Brisbane or some other part of Australia, you need to consider the same factors. It can be tricky finding the right provider or contractor for your project needs, and steel is certainly no exception, with its own set of considerations to take into account. We’ve put together […]

In recent years, technological advances in metal fabrication have seen huge improvements in metal cutting. As a result, diverse industries and services including construction, agriculture, aerospace, military and defence, mining and equipment manufacturers rely on metal cutting and fabrication to complete their projects. There are several precision metal cutting techniques available, and each has its […]

While the term ‘stainless’ steel implies that products manufactured from stainless steel are immune to corrosion or rust, unfortunately, that is not the case. In reality, any product manufactured from stainless steel can rust or corrode if certain precautions aren’t taken.   As a metal, steel can rust whereas stainless steel appliances have additional elements […]

Stainless steel is one of the most popular metals used in the construction industry because of its strength and versatility. It comes in many different sizes and lengths which is why it’s common for workers to have to weld pieces together during a project. The welding process gives off fumes which can be dangerous both […]

You don’t have to go very far to see evidence of expanding metal sheeting and its use in 21st-century design and construction. From walkways and platforms through to grates and fencing, expanding mesh is everywhere. It’s understandable therefore that you might be mistaken for thinking that it’s a modern invention. On the contrary, the process for […]

Similar to powder coating, hot dip galvanisation, also known as HDG is designed to lengthen the life of a steel product. The process certainly isn’t something new, in fact it’s been around for more than 150 years which goes to show that some processes should never be interfered with. What is hot dip galvanisation, exactly? […]
