WHAT IS METAL WORKING?

Metalworking is the process of forming and shaping metals to create useful tools, objects,
equipment parts, and structures. Metalworking projects generally fall under the categories of
forming, cutting, and joining, and may involve techniques such as cutting, welding, casting, and
molding. Materials used for metalworking include ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as steel,
aluminum, gold, silver, bronze, iron, and more.
The history of metalworking
For thousands of years, precious metals have been worked into objects and valued by ancient
civilizations, from Pharaohs in Egypt to Mayans in North America. The oldest known evidence
of metalworking is a copper pendant uncovered in Iraq and dates back to 8,700 BCE.
Metalworking techniques
it creates everything from small decorative objects to large-scale structures. While many
metalworking techniques will be similar across different materials, the properties of the metal
you are working with will greatly impact your work and your desired finished result
Cutting
Cutting removes material from metal using milling, routing, turning, and technologies like CNC
(computer numerical control) machines. Plasma cutters are gas-powered torches powered by
argon and hydrogen gas that will remove material and make holes in metal. Cutting is often used
in metalworking fabrication shops, automotive repair, and construction.
Joining
Joining is the process of combining several pieces of metal with heat through welding or
soldering. Welding is a fabrication process that utilizes a welding machine to join ferrous and
non-ferrous metals and works well for larger projects.
Forming
Forming is the process of re-shaping and fabricating metal objects without adding or removing
any material. This process is possible through a combination of heat and pressure. Both forging
and bending are essential methods for forming metal. When forging metal, you will heat it in the
forge, then hammer and bend it into your desired shape. To make a bend or curve in the metal,
heat it in the forge, then hold it over the anvil horn and strike it with a hammer to make your
desired curve. The English wheel is a tool that allows metalworkers to easily form and shape
cold materials, such as aluminum or steel.
Casting
Metal casting is a metalworking process that can be traced back to around 4000 BCE, and it is
still used for making sculptures, tools, and jewelry. Metalsmiths have been pouring molten
metals into cavities shaped in stone, plaster, sand, and even bone since we learned to melt metals.
Metal casting is cost and time effective, and it gives you the ability to make multiples of the
same piece.

Cutting processes & techniques

Metals must be cut and separated throughout the metalworking process to build structures, make
tools, and more. There are numerous metal cutting methods available for metalworking, from
using simple handheld tools to a variety of more advanced machines and equipment.

Milling
Milling is the process of removing precise amounts of material from a greater piece. A milling
machine rotates a cutting tool and brings the cutting tool into contact with a workpiece. The mill
and lathe are the cornerstones of any machine shop and can produce pieces with great precision,
repeatability, and accuracy.
Turning
Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool moves linearly while the workpiece
rotates, strategically removing material from the piece. Material can be removed from both the
depth and width of the workpiece. Lathes are traditionally used in turning as the leading principal
machine tool. As technology has advanced, CNC machines are also used for a more automated
process.
Grinding
Grinding uses an abrasive process to remove material from the workpiece, typically in the
finishing stages of metalworking. Grinding machines range from hand-held angle grinders to
bench grinders, to more advanced CNC machines. These machines can range vastly in size and
precision. Grinding creates very fine finishes and precise cuts using an abrasive wheel made
from stone, diamonds, or inorganic material.
Drilling
Drilling creates holes in metal using a drill press, handheld drill, or CNC machine. Make sure
you lubricate your bits with cutting fluid to prolong the tool’s life and prevent overheating. This
ensures a smooth and accurate hole and also prevents chattering or unsafe drilling.

Joining processes & techniques

Joining metals utilized heat and pressure in order to create a larger piece or build a structure.
Welding and riveting are excellent joining techniques for larger projects that bear weight, while
soldering is a process for joining smaller materials, like jewelry and sculptural objects.
Welding
Welding metal is a fabrication process that joins materials through pressure and heat. Different
types of welding work indoors, while others are best applied outdoors. Welding is used to forge
swords, build ships, fabricate structures, and more. There are many kinds of welding to choose
from, each with specific practical applications.
Soldering
Soldering is another method for joining metals by melting a filler metal on top of the metals
being joined to make a reliable electrical bridge. A low-temperature alloy is melted into the joint,
fusing the metals into one solid piece. Metalworkers use either an eclectic soldering iron or a
gas-powered torch to join precious metals. Soldering is commonly used in plumbing, electronics,
and metalwork to fabricate and musical instruments.
Riveting
Rivets are permanent mechanical fasteners that can create kinetic joints in a workpiece or
reinforce the structural integrity of a larger object. They are ideal for joining pieces that are
lightweight and require high strength. Before welding was used to build framed buildings and
structures such as the Eiffel Tower and Sydney Harbour Bridge, rivets were used at the joints to
join the metal. Before they are installed, rivets are smooth metallic cylinders with a head on one
end.
