Welding Vs. Fabrication
Welding is the joining of two metal pieces together with heat or pressure. It is part of the metal fabrication process, but fabrication is a more involved series of processes. It often starts with a blueprint or draft for the intended fabricated piece or structure. Using these blueprints, the fabricator can then determine and outline which processes they will require to create the requested structure.
There will be a wide variety of processes required. Especially welding, as most fabricated pieces will require the joining of two disparate parts. Additionally, the fabricator or project manager, may need to cut, shape, or bend metal, like those for railings. There are many common items in daily life that are the result of metal fabrication. This includes stairs, railings, decorative items, such as metal scrollwork, and even furniture.
Welder or Metal Fabricator
Depending on your project, you many need one, or both, a welder and a fabricator. Contacting a local fabrication or welding shop to provide a quote can assist in determining which you’ll need. But a good rule of thumb is that if you need to create or replace an existing structure you’ll need a fabricator who is capable of designing and creating what you require. The fabricator may be able to do the entire project, including welding, himself, but most likely a shop would take it on as a group project.
