Assembly and Fitting: Fabricators assemble and fit the cut and shaped metal pieces together. This process involves aligning and positioning the components accurately before welding them in place.
-
Weld Quality and Inspection: Ensuring the quality of welds is crucial for the structural integrity of the finished product. Welder fabricators inspect their work visually and may also use non-destructive testing methods like ultrasonic testing or X-rays to identify potential defects.
-
Grinding and Finishing: After welding, welder fabricators grind and smooth the welded joints to achieve a seamless and aesthetically pleasing appearance. They might also perform additional finishing tasks such as polishing or painting.
-
Custom Fabrication: Welder fabricators often work on custom projects that require creativity and problem-solving skills. They may need to fabricate one-of-a-kind pieces based on client requests and unique design specifications.
