Used in a variety of industries from engineering to construction, fabrication and welding allow for metal structures to be formed into a range of shapes and sizes. Metal plays an important role in everyday life and our blog this week looks into fabrication and welding in detail.
Here at MK Steelworks Ltd, we specialise in quality steel fabrication and welding services in Nottingham and further afield. We have an extensive workshop where all work is carried out and our team of operatives are fully trained.

What Is Metal Fabrication?
Metal fabrication involves the larger tasks of making the metal products and includes the start of the manufacturing process to the end product. It is the production of metal structures using a range of techniques from bending to cutting resulting in turning raw metals into pre-made shapes for use. Some of the most popular metal types available for fabrication include brass, copper, gold, silver and various grades of steel. There is a range of fabrication processes that are used to weld the material. Some of these include:
- Cutting
- Welding
- Stamping
- Folding
Depending on the needs of your project, some companies will offer customised types of fabrication for a more bespoke order.

What Is Welding?
Welding involves joining or fusing metal pieces together using heat and/or compressions and these are merged together as part of the fabrication process. The prepared metal is then welded together using numerous techniques. The high heat used produces enough to melt the base material and this results in the welded pieces melting together. There are several types of different welding processes, with one of the most common being Shielded metal arc welding (also known as stick welding). Some of the others include:
- TIG – Gas Tungsten Arc WeldingÂ
- MIG – Gas Metal Arc Welding
- Laser Beam
- Atomic Hydrogen
A significant advantage of welding is the wide variety of materials that can be welded.
