It’s important to remember that even the strongest metals will eventually weaken and become loose. Let’s talk about what’s going on with your metal structures, and whether welding can help prevent them from cracking or breaking.
In America, Australia, and England, the most common surname is "smith." It comes from the Anglo-Saxon word, "smitan," meaning "to smite, strike, or pound," and many ironworkers took the name to signify their occupation and identify their metalworking skills.
Oxy-fuel welding is often referred to as "oxy welding" or "gas welding," and has been used since the early 2000s. Pure oxygen, instead of air is used to increase the temperature of the flame. This allows for localized melting of the material.
Mobile welding service and fabrication is provided by technicians who are at the top of their game. Coupled with the state-of-the-art technology, this makes mobile welding is one of the fastest growing services in the welding industry today.
An iron railing is a fence made of iron. This may be wrought iron, which is ductile and durable and can be hammered into elaborate shapes when hot.
We can help you determine the welding process that’s most appropriate for your particular project. Elements to consider include productivity and cost factors, as well as material and weld positioning.
Did you know that iron is the sixth most common element in the entire universe? In addition, it’s the fourth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust by weight and the most abundant element in the total composition of the planet.
Did you know soldering was used as far back as 5000 years ago in Mesopotamia? Soldering and brazing are believed to have been developed very early in the history of metal-working!
Choosing to add a little iron work to your life isn’t as hard as you might think. It begins with your creativity and the process continues when that creativity meets the skill of a professional ironworker.
Iron is one of the most plentiful metals known to man, which is why it has been widely used in many applications throughout history. Iron has been a vital element for hunting, warfare and architecture.
Before the introduction of steel, wrought iron was widely manufactured and used to make lots of different products. Some of them may surprise you, like: bolts, horseshoes, train couplings, nails, chain links and utility pipe.
It’s important to remember that iron security bars don’t have to become permanent immovable fixtures on the outside of your windows. If you’re concerned about your ability to get out in the event of an emergency, we can create a custom solution for you.
When it comes to choosing railings for staircases, safety is just as important as aesthetic appeal. Although wood has long been a traditional choice, metal railings offer additional strength and stability.
Hard surfacing has a number of important production applications. It can increase wear resistance of new parts during manufacture or it can be used with old parts to repair surfaces that have been abraded.
Have you been hesitant to incorporate iron gates, rails, or structures into your next building project because you want to keep the overall appearance soft and elegant? Remember, using the right custom ironworks can add all the visual appeal you need while still blending seamlessly with your tone and style.
Ironwork can be a beautiful element to a variety of home styles and a specially designed piece is sure to bring your own personal taste to your home. Why not speak to a professional ironworker and design that statement piece today?
In welding, the basic joint that’s created is often designed and specified to support the component’s assembly. For instance, a weld joint may be modified to gain access to the joint or to change a weld’s metallurgical properties.
One of the benefits of wrought iron railings lies in their flexibility: they can be used just as easily either inside or outside the home. Design wise, they can be customized with straight lines, curves, or whatever you envision.
Bismuth is one of the metals used for many low-temperature, common solders. These are often used to join previously-soldered assemblies without un-soldering earlier connections.
Was iron used in cooking utensils like pans before or after it was employed for decorative and architectural purposes? If you guessed after, you're right. Once iron smelting became more common, other products, like the production of cooking vessels, became popular.
The prospect of welding metals to form a lasting bond has long been a topic of fascination. In 1540, Vannoccio Biringuccio made this interesting observation in his book, Pyrotechnica: “This seems to me an ingenious thing … of great usefulness.”
