For that reason, we have dedicated the rest of this article to talk about these ignored yet important metal fabricant processes.

Metal finishing

This is the surface treatment that all fabricated parts are given. Every metal part or product that you see around you passes through this process before it reaches you as the customer. So, if you are the manufacturer and not the customer, then you will have to do this on behalf of your customers so that what reaches them is a completely finished product.

Metal finishing helps in improving many different surface properties such as hardness, appearance, resistivity to corrosion, resistivity to abrasion, resistivity to chemical actions, and many others. It is also through this method that you have a chance to impress your customers with a deluxe finishing. All in all, we have to appreciate the need for this process in metal fabrication.

Hardware insertion

Hardware insertion is the process of installing pieces of hardware such as fasteners, studs, standoff, etc. into the metal to offer extra strength on the joints. It greatly increases the loading capability of the parts in question. This is normally a time-consuming process as there are parts that require the installation of thousands of pieces of hardware. Companies that use the manual method for this find it very costly, and that is the reason why many of them are resorting to contract manufacturing for the same.
