Are hot water heaters good for scrap metal?

• <div><p>Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common types of welding?

• <div><p>Welders use a variety of methods in their trade. Different types of welding are better suited for different purposes and contexts. For example, stick welding is a versatile form suitable for most metals and alloys. The most common types of welding include:</p><ul><li><p>Stick welding: $100&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up</p></li><li><p>Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up</p></li><li><p>Gas welding: $150 and up</p></li><li><p>Forge welding: $15&ndash;$25 per hour</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the best tool to cut metal ducts?

• <div><p>The best tool for cutting metal ducts depends on the duct's shape and thickness. For round ducts, a duct cutter provides accurate, clean cuts. Reciprocating saws equipped with metal-cutting blades are versatile and suitable for both round and rectangular ducts. They offer speed and precision, especially for thicker metal. </p><p>Tin snips are handy for intricate cuts or smaller ducts. However, an angle grinder with a metal-cutting wheel is powerful and efficient for large or thick metal ducts. </p></div>

Q: What is corrugated metal?

• <div><p>Corrugated metal has been pressed so that it has alternating ridges or grooves. Metal that has undergone this process becomes incredibly strong, with some of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material. It's lightweight and has an increased surface area when compared to a flat sheet of metal. Both of these attributes contribute to its coveted strength. It's used for fencing because it's weather- and impact-resistant, rarely needs maintenance, and lasts many years&mdash;for a relatively low cost. </p></div>

Didn t hear anything for a few weeks after placing a deposit, but once we got the fabricator out, things moved quickly. They cut the sinks on site and made some mistakes, but came back out two days later and finished everything up. Overall, good experience.

Veteran owned company with experience since 2010, providing professional and quality work in the welding and fabrication areas. Big or small, we can get the job done!

"Having a remote controlled, solar operated gate controller installed for a friend in another city was a challenge but Josh was great to work with from the start. He was the first to respond to my inquiry on "Angie", met with me at the job site and we agreed on the project. His customer service skills are great, he completed the job sooner than expected with quality work and did not exceed the agreed upon cost. I would recommend Country Strong Fabrication."
