FABRICATION AND WELDING SERVICE OVERVIEW

Welders use special tools to heat metal and form a bond to join two pieces or repair cracks. Typically, the bond forms completely as the metal cools. Fabrication: All processes that are used in building machines or structures from raw metals are considered metal fabrication

Fabrication is defined as taking raw stock material to create an end product. This differs from welding because it covers the entire process of creating a product — from design and cutting to formation and finishing.
