Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of bending, cutting, punching, assembling sheet metal to form into the desired form. Special tools, such as band saws and chops saws, can also be used in the sheet metal fabrication process. These ensure even cutting throughout the process. Parts are fabricated from a single piece of sheet metal so designs should have a uniform thickness. Although carbon steel is the most prominent material for metal fabrication, stainless steel would be necessary for high corrosive environments whereas aluminium is primarily considered when weight of the product is a major limitation.

Plasma cutting operates by firing an electrically ionised heated gas (plasma) out of a nozzle at a high speed towards the metal. This will form an electrical ark within the gas. High level of heat is generated as electricity from the nozzle travels down this plasma. This heat melts the metal where cutting is achieved. Plasma cutters can cut stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper along with mild steel. It’s particularly ideal for thick metal, up to 50 mm. If cutting highly reflective or very thick sheets of metal is required, plasma should be the ideal cutting method. Our modern steelwork fabrication shops have computer-aided design and detailing (CAD), which is linked directly to factory floor computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery, creating a genuine seamless CAD/CAM environment. Novelty Steel has adapted EN 1090-2 standards into its manufacturing processes supervised by experienced quality management team.

Novelty Steel is an experienced fabricator of structural steel fabrications for plant constructions such as Bulk Handling Equipment, HRSG plants, Steel and Wood Industries. Some examples of the fabrications are: Steel Silos and tanks Inlet Ducts and Silencers Stair Towers Bunkers and Hoppers Pipe Supports Exhaust Stacks Our modern steelwork fabrication shops have computer-aided design and detailing (CAD), which is linked directly to factory floor computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery, creating a genuine seamless CAD/CAM environment. The accuracy of the computer-generated details being transmitted directly to the CNC machinery increases the quality standards of the production.
