Aluminium Fabrication

Rolls of metal sheet. Zinc, aluminium or steel sheet rolls on warehouse in factory.

Aluminium fabrication is the process of cutting, shaping, and extruding aluminum into a finished product. Compared to other types of metal, aluminum is a popular choice for fabrication because it is lightweight, corrosion resistant, strong, non-sparking, and non-magnetic.

Aluminium is also an easy metal to work with thanks to its comparative softness, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. Its non-toxicity has made it a popular choice for food preparation machinery, and its reflective and non-combustive properties have also cemented its place in lighting.

ADVANTAGES OF ALUMINIUM FABRICATION

As a metal, aluminum offers a range of different advantages that make it a great choice for metal fabrication projects, such as

  • Lightweight—Aluminium weighs a third of the weight of stainless steel and offers a higher strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Easy to work with—Aluminium is soft, corrosion resistant, recyclable, and non-toxic.
  • Cost effective—Aluminium is an affordable metal, making it ideal for both small scale and heavy industrial applications.
  • Non-magnetic—Aluminium can be used in electrical applications where system components are sensitive to magnets.

Customizability—Aluminium can be fabricated into a wide range of different shapes and styles with varying finishes
