Steel welding

Stainless steel is a very common material to use in fabrication projects, thanks to its versatility and durability, among others. Stainless steel possesses high good corrosion resistance which makes it the primary option for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, petrochemicals and machinery.The versatility of stainless steel requires different fabricating techniques. Stainless steel is a sensitive material which requires delicate weld preparation practices such as thorough surface preparation prior to commencement of welding. Shoddy surface cleaning may compromise the material features such as corrosion resistance. Stainless steel has definite advantages over other metals and, it’s one of the most expensive metal. This high cost puts additional pressure on fabricators to be more careful in fabrication processes. Stainless steel should be fabricated in a specialized clean workshop to prevent contamination. Also it required specialist steel contractors

Novelty Steel is a contract fabricator of bespoke structural steel works comprising metal cutting, bending, machining, welding and painting. Our modern steelwork fabrication shops have computer-aided design and detailing (CAD), which is linked directly to factory floor computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery, creating a genuine seamless CAD/CAM environment. The accuracy of the computer-generated details being transmitted directly to the CNC machinery increases the quality standards of the production. Novelty Steel has adapted EN 1090-2 standards into its manufacturing processes supervised by experienced quality management team.

Aluminium fabrication plays an essential role in metal fabrications for a variety of industries. The metal’s light weight, corrosion resistance, and ductility make it ideal for many applications from automotive parts to medical devices. Aluminium isn’t always easy to work with. The appropriate practices and equipment is necessary if you want to avoid welding defects or damage. The choice of alloy, welding gas and joining method can all have a significant effect on the quality of finished products. Due to aluminium’s unique characteristics, aluminium fabrication differs from the other metals. Low weight density of aluminium is common knowledge which brings various advantages and disadvantages in the fabrication. Although aluminium has a weaker mechanical properties, it still possesses higher strength to weight ratio compared to stainless steel and carbon steel in various applications.

Stainless steel is an alloy of steel with chromium content that is a better resistant to rusting and corrosion compared to carbon steel. For storing corrosive chemicals and liquids, often traditional coatings of carbon steel does not offer enough protection. For such material, stainless steel tanks offer more durable and long lasting storage. Novelty Steel is an experienced fabricator of steel tanks. With our modern CNC Machinery Park and experienced engineering team, Novelty Steel produces bespoke steel frames according to the EN 1090-2 European Norms. Some examples of the stainless steel tanks are: * Fixed-roof tanks * External floating roof tanks * Internal floating roof tanks * Domed external floating roof tanks * Horizontal tanks * Pressure tanks * Variable vapor space tanks * LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) tanks
