Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

Repairs can typically be completed within a few hours, though larger projects requiring multiple layers or precise shaping may take longer.

Common materials used include aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and copper, each selected for their properties suited to specific repair needs.

Steel hinges are among the most popular types of door hinges. Most door hinges today are made from stainless steel because of its durability and rust resistance. Most steel door hinges sold are plated with small amounts of nickel or brass. Many older homes or custom builds may contain high-end brass door hinges that are also resistant to rusting and corrosion.

You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.

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.
