Techniques and Equipment Gieske Uses for Custom Stainless Steel Sheet Metal Fabrication
Cutting
Cutting stainless steel sheet metal is one of the most common first steps in the fabrication process. It may be one of many steps in the full fabrication process or the only step required for the project. Regardless, we use state-of-the-art equipment to achieve the precise cuts needed to complete any custom stainless steel fabrication project:
- CNC high-speed laser cutting
- CNC water jet cutting
- CNC plasma shape cutting
- Hot chop saw
- Cold saw
- Metal plate shear
- Large band saw
Forming
In the stainless steel fabrication process, the metal is molded into the desired shape using equipment that bends, rolls, or presses the metal. During the forming stage of stainless steel fabrication, the metal retains its mass while its shape is transformed. Gieske employs a variety of equipment for stainless steel forming, including:
- CNC brake
- CNC tube bender
- Powered slip rolls
Joining
After cutting and forming the stainless steel components, the next common step in the fabrication process is joining, where stainless steel pieces are connected to create the final product. Various joining techniques can be used, both fusion and mechanical. Our stainless steel fabrication joining techniques include:
- TIG welding
- MIG welding
- Drill press
- Soldering & brazing
- Riveting
Finishing
The final step of stainless steel fabrication is finishing. We offer a wide range of finishing options to meet the specific requirements of your project. In-house, we provide polishing services that can achieve a brushed, mirrored, or angel hair finish using various techniques:
- Hand finishing
- Custom grinder finishing
- Cloth buffing wheels
- Orbital sander
- 8’ Directional belt sander
- Drill press
Additionally, we regularly collaborate with external partners to offer other finishing options such as powder coating, plating, anodizing, and more.
