What is Aluminum Fabrication?

Aluminum fabrication involves shaping aluminum into specific products and components through various advanced techniques. This lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength material is ideal for a multitude of applications, from construction and automotive to aerospace and consumer goods. Our expertise in aluminum fabrication ensures that every product we create meets the highest standards of quality and durability.

Our Key Aluminum Fabrication Processes:

Cutting:

• Shearing: We use precision shearing techniques to cut aluminum up to ¼” in thickness with exact measurements.
• Sawing: Our advanced sawing equipment, including cold and hot saws, ensures clean and precise cuts.
• Laser Cutting: For intricate designs and high precision, our laser cutting technology offers unparalleled accuracy.

Forming:

• Bending: Using press brakes with a maximum capacity of 125 tons, we can bend aluminum up to 10 gauge (mild steel) and 12 feet in length into any desired shape, creating both simple and complex angles.
• Punching: Our punching capabilities handle aluminum up to 3/16 inches in thickness and 48+ inches in length, with a width capacity of 40 inches for mild steel.
• Extrusion: By forcing aluminum through a die, we produce components with specific cross-sectional shapes perfect for various applications.
• Stamping: Our stamping process presses aluminum sheets into detailed shapes with high consistency and quality.

Joining:

• Welding: We employ MIG and TIG welding techniques to ensure strong and reliable joints in all our aluminum products.
• Riveting: Our riveting process securely joins aluminum pieces with metal fasteners.
• Adhesive Bonding: For applications requiring a seamless bond, we use industrial adhesives to join aluminum components effectively.

Machining:

• Milling: Our milling services involve removing material with rotary cutters to achieve the desired shape and dimensions.
• Turning: Using precision lathes, we shape aluminum to exact specifications.
• Drilling: We create precise holes with a variety of drill bits, tailored to the specific needs of each project.
• Counterboring, Countersinking, and Tapping: These additional machining processes ensure that every component meets the exact specifications required for high-performance applications.

Finishing:

• Polishing: Our polishing process ensures a smooth and aesthetically pleasing surface on all aluminum products.
• Anodizing: This electrochemical process enhances corrosion resistance and adds vibrant colors to aluminum surfaces.
• Powder Coating: We apply durable and decorative powder coatings to protect and beautify our aluminum products.
• Bead Blasting, Deburring, Plating, and Painting: These additional services ensure a flawless finish and enhanced durability.
