What metals do we work with?

CSM offers a wide range of bespoke fabrication services using various materials.

Each material is chosen based on its unique properties, such as strength, durability, aesthetic appeal, or resistance to environmental factors.

If you’re unsure of the metal you need, we can help you choose from the following materials to meet your project’s requirements:

Aluminium

Aluminium is a silver-white metal with a dull lustre. The metal is ideal for lightweight and strong structures, often used in aerospace and automotive applications.

Benefits: 

  • Corrosion-resistant which makes it long-lasting
  • Highly recyclable which makes it an eco-friendly option
  • Good strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for construction
Mild steel

Mild steel, known for its strong and durable qualities, is a carbon steel variant with a relatively low carbon content, giving it a balance of strength and malleability. Commonly used for general construction because of its strength and affordability.

Benefits:

  • High tensile strength, so it’s ideal for supporting heavy loads
  • Cost-effective, making it suitable for large-scale projects
  • Easily weldable, allowing for diverse applications
Stainless steel

Stainless steel is renowned for its corrosion resistance and sleek appearance, perfect for medical and food-grade applications. This alloy, enriched with chromium, offers a shiny, mirror-like finish and is particularly valued in environments where resistance to rust and staining is crucial.

Benefits:

  • Exceptional resistance to corrosion and staining
  • Maintains strength at high temperatures
  • Aesthetic appeal enhances design versatility
Galvanised steel

Galvanised steel boasts enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion, thanks to its protective layer of zinc coating. This treatment makes it an ideal choice for outdoor or industrial environments where steel is exposed to the elements. Its silver-grey finish offers a functional, rugged appearance that’s suited to a variety of applications.

Benefits:

  • Superior corrosion resistance extends lifespan
  • Protective zinc coating repairs itself over scratches
  • Versatile for indoor and outdoor use because of the steel’s durability
Copper

Copper is distinguished by its reddish-brown hue and natural sheen, offering both aesthetic appeal and superior electrical and thermal conductivity. This metal is highly prized in electrical, plumbing, and architectural applications for its durability and workability.

Benefits:

  • Excellent conductivity for heat and electricity
  • Naturally antimicrobial, making it ideal for sanitary environments
  • Patinas over time for a unique, aesthetically pleasing finish

Bespoke fabrication services FAQs

Can you laser-cut fabricated metals?

Yes, CSM can laser-cut fabricated metals, providing precision cutting for a variety of metal types ensuring high-quality finishes for custom projects. This advanced technique supports intricate designs and precise specifications.

What is the lead time of CSM’s bespoke metal fabrications?

The lead time for our bespoke metal fabrications can vary based on a project’s complexity and material availability. For an accurate estimate tailored to your specific project needs, please get in touch with us here.

What information do you need to fabricate metal?

To fabricate metal, we typically need detailed specifications including:

  • Dimensions
  • Material type
  • Thickness
  • Design drawings or CAD files

We may also need information about the desired finish, application, and any specific requirements or standards to be met is also crucial for a precise fabrication process. However, if you don’t have any of the above, we can work with you to get the information we need.

What metal items do you use as raw materials for the fabrications?

We use a variety of metals as raw materials for our fabrications, including aluminium, mild steel, stainless steel, galvanised steel, and copper. Each metal is chosen for its specific properties, such as strength, corrosion resistance, conductivity, and aesthetic appeal, to meet the unique requirements of your project.

What is the difference between a metal fabricator and a machinist?

A metal fabricator shapes and assembles metal structures from raw materials using various processes like welding, cutting, and bending. 

A machinist, on the other hand, primarily operates machine tools to precision-machine parts to very tight tolerances, often working from a machined part perspective rather than constructing larger structures. 

Fabricators create or assemble the bigger picture, while machinists focus on producing individual, precision components.

How does custom metal fabrication work?

Custom metal fabrication involves a tailored process to create specific metal pieces or structures based on your requirements. 

It starts with consultation and design, followed by material selection. Advanced techniques like laser cutting, welding, and CNC machining shape the metal. 

The process includes quality checks and finishes with delivery and installation of the fabricated item, ensuring it meets your needs and standards.
