Stainless Steel Metal Fabrication - Why Wildebees?
-
What exactly is stainless steel fabrication?Stainless steel fabrication involves the process of cutting, bending, and assembling stainless steel to create structures or components. This process utilizes techniques such as welding, laser cutting, and CNC machining to achieve precise and durable results. Stainless steel is favored for its corrosion resistance, strength, and aesthetic appeal, making it ideal for various applications across industries like construction, food processing, and medical devices.
-
What are the benefits of using stainless steel in fabrication?Stainless steel offers several advantages in fabrications: Corrosion Resistance: It resists rust and corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments. Durability: High strength and resistance to wear and tear ensure longevity. Hygiene: Easy to clean and sterilize, ideal for food processing and medical applications. Aesthetic Appeal: Its sleek appearance is aesthetically pleasing for architectural applications. Recyclability: Environmentally friendly as it can be recycled without losing its properties.
-
What types of stainless steel do you use in fabrication?We use various types of stainless steel in our fabrications with the nature and context of the fabrication determining which is most suitable. We've been fabricating stainless steel for decades so can recommend which will be most suitable for your specific project. Common types of stainless steel used in fabrication include: Austenitic Stainless Steel (304, 316): Known for excellent corrosion resistance and formability. Ferritic Stainless Steel (430): Offers good corrosion resistance and is less expensive. Martensitic Stainless Steel (410, 420): Known for high strength and hardness but less corrosion resistant. Duplex Stainless Steel: Combines high strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
-
What applications commonly use stainless steel fabrication?Stainless steel fabrication is used in a wide range of applications and industries in New Zealand: Architectural and Structural: Stainless steel is often used in building fabrications including facades, handrails, signage and structural supports. Food and Beverage Industry: For hygiene, stainless steel is a preferred material in processing equipment, storage tanks, and kitchen surfaces in the hospitality and food manufacturing industries. Medical and Pharmaceutical: Again for hygiene and frequent sterilisation, stainless steel is used for Surgical instruments, medical devices, and cleanroom equipment. Marine and Automotive: The corrosion resistance of marine grade stainless steel is used in fabrications for boat fittings, exhaust systems, and structural components. Industrial Equipment: Chemical processing equipment, pipelines, and heat exchangers.
-
How do you ensure the quality of stainless steel fabrication?Wildebees Engineering prides itself on precision engineering. To assure our clients and ourselves of quality in our stainless steel fabrications involves several steps: Material Selection: Choosing the right grade of stainless steel for each application is essential. Our experience can guide you on which is best for your application and budget. Precision Machining: We use advanced techniques like CNC machining and laser cutting to ensure accuracy. Certified Welding: We are certified welders with decades of experience and adhere to industry standards. Quality Control Inspections: Conducting thorough inspections and testing, such as non-destructive testing (NDT), to ensure weld integrity and dimensional accuracy. Surface Finishing: We apply appropriate surface finishes to enhance corrosion resistance and appearance.
