Our Terminology

We understand that the world of cnc plasma fabrication can involve some technical terminology. Whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned professional, we want to ensure you’re familiar with the processes and services we offer.

Plasma cutting is a process that uses a high-temperature plasma arc to cut through electrically conductive materials, such as steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and copper. It is known for its precision and efficiency, making it ideal for cutting thick sheets of metal quickly and accurately. At Oxygen Fabrications, we use plasma cutting for a wide variety of projects, from intricate designs to large industrial components.

Sheet metal fabrication involves shaping and forming thin metal sheets into various components through processes such as cutting, bending, punching, and welding. This versatile service is used in a wide range of industries, from manufacturing to construction, as it allows us to create strong and lightweight structures, enclosures, and parts. At Oxygen Fabrications, we specialise in custom sheet metal fabrications to meet your specific design requirements.

Plastic coating involves applying a protective layer of plastic to metal surfaces to provide enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. It’s ideal for components used in harsh environments or those requiring insulation. Plastic coating is a great option for parts exposed to wear and tear, as it provides an extra layer of protection and can improve the aesthetic appearance of the metal.

Powder coating is a dry finishing process where a fine powder is applied to the metal surface and then cured using heat. This process forms a durable, long-lasting, and corrosion-resistant finish that is more robust than traditional paint. Powder coating is ideal for parts that require both aesthetic appeal and high durability, making it perfect for metal products exposed to the elements or heavy use.

Batch producing refers to the process of manufacturing a set number of identical metal components in a single production run. This method is cost-effective for creating moderate quantities of parts with consistent quality. It allows us to optimise production efficiency and reduce costs, making it ideal for clients needing multiple units of the same product, such as machinery parts, brackets, or enclosures.

Vinyl wrapping is the process of applying a flexible vinyl film to metal surfaces for decorative or protective purposes. It is often used for branding, colour customisation, or to protect the metal from the elements. Vinyl wrapping can be an effective solution for projects that require a high-quality finish without the need for more permanent processes like painting or coating.

Welding is the process of joining metal parts together by melting the materials at the joint, often with the addition of a filler material. Assembly refers to the process of putting together various metal components to create a finished product. At Oxygen Fabrications, we offer expert welding & assembly services, ensuring that all your metal parts are securely bonded and functionally aligned to meet your project’s requirements.

Bending & forming involves shaping metal sheets or strips into specific angles or curves using machinery like press brakes and roll formers. These processes are used to create metal parts such as brackets, panels, or enclosures. Whether you need a simple bend or a complex formed part, our bending & forming services ensure accuracy and precision for every project.
