Q: How can you extend the life of brass?

• <div><p>Storing brass properly, cleaning it regularly, avoiding excess handling, and making sure to only use gentle, non-abrasive cleaning materials can all help extend the life of brass. Storing little-used brass items in airtight, water-tight containers will help prevent oxidation and water damage. For more frequently used items, try not to handle them frequently with bare hands, clean them when they begin showing signs of oxidation or tarnish, and avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners or tools.</p></div>

Q: What are other methods of changing stainless steel color?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t want to rely on paint to change the color of your stainless steel surface, there are a few other methods, but they require specialized equipment and skills. Some examples include powder coating, applying pigmented powder via an electrostatic gun, and electrostatic painting, which uses wet paints and has a less durable finish. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/powder-coating-cost.htm">cost of powder coating</a> is <b>$40 to $600 per part</b>, and electrostatic painting averages <b>$60 per hour</b>.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect fabrication costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material type, labor, design complexity, finishing requirements, and installation needs.</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.

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 difference between metal casting and metal fabrication?

• <div><p>Metal casting involves creating a prototype and a mold into which metal is poured and allowed to cool and set up. Pieces are cast in molds, making the reproduction of many identical pieces more efficient for larger quantities. Metal fabrication involves creating pieces and welding them together into a larger project, involving more skilled manual labor than metal casting. Fabrication can be more cost-effective in smaller runs but can become less efficient for producing mass quantities of identical pieces.</p></div>
