The metal forming process is an integral part of society, as it helps create a multitude of products and metal components that we use daily. Without metal forming processes, our society wouldn’t operate as it would today.
From scaffolding to heavy machinery to designing and creating artificial intelligence, metal forming plays a pivotal role in keeping […]

You may not be able to tell a huge difference between aluminum and stainless steel to the naked eye. Both metals are extremely versatile and widely used in the food services industry.However, when it comes to factors such as application, sturdiness, weight, cost, and more, many noteworthy differences will impact which material you choose. We’ve […]

Two popular forms of metal fabrication include casting and forging. These processes have been used for thousands of years, and each offers a unique array of benefits that should be used to create certain metal components.
When it comes to forged vs. cast, which is better?What Is Casting?
In the casting process, metal is heated until it is molten, […]

Sheet metal can be used in a variety of processes to build machinery and structures for different industries. Although the process of fabricating sheet metal can be complicated, skilled engineers can use techniques such as bending, notching, shearing, shrinking, or beading to form components and parts made from sheet metal.
Whether you have a decade of […]

According to the World Steel Association, there are over 3,500 steel grades that each has its unique properties and uses. From building infrastructure to vehicles to appliances, steel can be used in endless real-world applications. How steel is manufactured can have a significant impact on its products and applications. Even if the grades and specifications between […]

Metal coating, just as it sounds, is the process of applying some type of outer metal coating to the surface of a product or other component. Metal coatings provide a host of advantages, such as improving performance or appearance.
As you can imagine, the number of material options is endless, with each offering unique benefits and […]

Welding is the fabrication process of joining two parts together through heat, pressure, or a combination of both. Professionals and engineering enthusiasts worldwide use welding in a variety of techniques to transform metal pieces, wood, and plastic parts into unique shapes and designs.This process is more than joining two different materials or objects together, rather, it is […]

For many of the products that we produce at Schaumburg Specialties, we heavily rely on welding to join different metal pieces. However, ‘welding’ is a broad term that encompasses a variety of welding techniques with a wide range of applications.Using the right welding technique based on the end goal of the product can help it turn […]

Through the cold-forming process of metal stamping, sheet metal is transformed into different shapes. The metal-stamping process uses a combination of dies and stamping presses to convert pieces of flat metal into usable shapes for a variety of industries.
From the automotive industry to aerospace […]

Die-casting is a manufacturing process that we use to help construct smooth, well-dimensioned metal products. The process consists of forcing molten metal into the mold at very high pressure into reusable metal dies.
The die-casting process can be described as the shortest distance between the raw material and the finished product. However, “die-casting” is a term that […]

What does metal fabrication mean? Well, by definition, it means “the action or process of manufacturing or inventing something” or “the assembly and fabrication of products.” 
So, to summarize, it means to build or create something. For instance, a fabrication could be a factious story. […]
