FAQ

What is mild steel fabrication?

Mild steel fabrication is the process of cutting, forming, welding and assembling low-carbon steel into finished products, components or structures for commercial, architectural and industrial applications.

Is mild steel the same as black steel?

Not exactly. Mild steel refers to the material itself, while black steel typically refers to mild steel supplied with its natural mill-scale surface. In fabrication, the terms are often used interchangeably depending on the application.

Why choose mild steel instead of stainless steel or aluminium?

Mild steel is often the most economical option when high corrosion resistance or weight reduction is not the primary requirement. It offers excellent strength, versatility and fabrication flexibility, making it suitable for many commercial, architectural and display applications.

Can you manufacture from supplied drawings?

Yes. We regularly manufacture from customer-supplied drawings, sketches, 3D models, and specifications. We can also assist with refining concepts where required. We can work from a variety of file formats including PDF drawings, CAD files, DXF files, sketches, photos and hand-drawn concepts. If you’re unsure what information is required, simply send what you have and our team will review it.

How long does custom steel fabrication take?

Lead times vary depending on project complexity, material availability, finishing requirements and workshop workload. Once we review your project details, we can provide an estimated production timeframe with your quotation.

Do you deliver fabricated products throughout South Australia?

Yes. We can arrange delivery of completed fabrication projects throughout Adelaide and regional South Australia. Collection from our Lonsdale workshop is also available.
