Metal Bending

Metal bending is one of the most common metal fabrication operation. The sheet metal bending process involves applying a force to a sheet metal part to change its geometry. This force causes stress on the sheet metal beyond its yield strength and permanent physically deform without breaking or failing. The press brake is a commonly used equipment for sheet metal bending. It works by lowering a mould onto a sheet metal work piece positioned on a die, creating the desired form. 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. Novelty Steel has adapted EN 1090-2 standards into its manufacturing processes supervised by experienced quality management team.

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.

Fabrication is the process used to manufacture steelwork components that will, when assembled and joined, form a complete frame or structure. The fabrication process of steel products can be categorized into 5 steps primarily based on the sequence of the task. These are: Steel Detailing Steel Profiling Cutting Bending Rolling Drilling Welding Surface Preparation and Painting Packagin At Novelty Steel, we usually use readily available steel sections that are purchased from the steel mills, together with complementary material such as protective paints and fasteners from other specialist suppliers.
