  Steel fabricators in Houston, TX , use a variety of techniques to turn basic steel into predefined shapes, ready to be implemented in construction. Fabricators work alongside steel detailers and drafters that provide detailed designs that fabricators then bring to life. This requires a keen eye for detail, an array of tools and techniques, and a thorough knowledge of steel properties.   Here are some common techniques used by steel fabricators :   Shot Blasting   Shot blasting is the process of blasting steel sections with a shot to remove impurities and prepare the metal for fabrication. This provides a clean finish that will be easy to weld as well as a rough surface that will accept a coat of paint.   Cutting   Steel fabricators cut up steel sections prior to fabrication so that they are easier to work with. Cutting t echniques includ e flame cutting, plasma cutting, and cutting with a circular saw.   Bending   ...

Welding is a fabrication process that uses high temperatures to melt and fuse metal parts together. The process of welding doesn't only bond the two pieces together as in soldering; instead, it causes the metals of the two pieces to join together and become one. This is the process performed by many metal welding services companies in Houston, TX.   About the Different Types of W elding   Humans have been wel ding for millennia. However, forge welding, in which blacksmiths join iron and steel by heating and hammering , was the only technique available for a long while. In the 19th century, more advanced methods of welding were developed, and some of the most common modern metal welding services provided by a welding shop are :   MIG Welding - Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) TIG Welding - Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) Stick Welding - Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) Energy Beam Welding (EBW) Flux Welding - Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) Atomic Hydrogen Wel...
