Light fabrication engineers work with light metals such as stainless steel and aluminium to make or repair a variety of metal products, such as vents, handrails and boat parts. ... Steel construction engineers manufacture and install steel components such as beams and girders for structures and civil engineering projects
Metal fabrication is a broad term referring to any process that cuts, shapes, or molds metal material into a final product. Instead of an end product being assembled from ready-made components, fabrication creates an end product from raw or semi-finished materials.
Heavy steel fabrication refers to projects that require more substantial structural elements and thus more specialised equipment and skills to manage the steel. Not all fabricators have the capacity to handle these projects as they tend to be more challenging and require a higher level of expertise
Extensively adopted tool fabrication methods are conventional machining, e.g., such as turning, milling, shaping, grinding, engraving etc. used for copper, brass, Cu-W, Ag-W, graphite etc. Casting method can also be used for Al alloys and Zn-Sn alloy.
