Rolled 316 stainless steel weldment for a city water main
A rolled and welded 316 stainless steel thrust collar for a city water main.
What we did
We broke a 2D architectural PDF down into laser-cutting-ready files, laser cut the blank parts, roll formed the 1/2 inch 316 stainless collar tube and MIG welded the complete collar weldment.
Materials and processes
Mechanical design and drafting, laser cutting, roll forming, MIG (GMAW) welding of stainless steel, stainless passivation
Result
One shop that took an architectural 2D drawing to a 3D CAD model with production drawings, and then to a physical rolled and welded assembly.
Capabilities used: Design & Engineering, Metalworking & Fabrication, Anodizing & Plating
