Alternative Components has expertise in many tube fabricating processes such as bending, end forming, and welding. New processes are constantly being developed as well as ways to apply them. Fabrication volumes range from one piece to a million or more. In-house design is available for products, tools, and custom equipment.
Tube bending is one of the fabrication methods used to form tubes permanently by bending them. In many circumstances, bent tubes are more useful than in their straight form. Bent tubes are an integral part of many instruments, such as...
A wire brush is an abrasive tool that has stiff bristles made from a variety of rigid materials designed to clean and prepare metal surfaces. The filaments of wire brushes are small diameter pieces of inflexible material that...
Precision sheet metal fabrication is a common manufacturing process where the structure of a metal workpiece is cut, bent, and assembled by machining. There are any number of operations that are performed in the creation of a finished sheet metal product...
Roll forming is a process that uses a set of precisely placed rollers to perform incremental bending to a continuously fed strip of metal. The rollers are mounted in sets on a consecutive stand with each roller...
Steel service centers are companies that specialize in procuring steel directly from mills and manufacturers and supplying them to the customers. They are fundamental to the steel supply chain...
Tube fabricating machinery refers to machinery that either bends, cuts, or forms tubes and pipes into various shapes and sizes permanently. These machines work tubes constructed from materials with high ductility and malleability such as...
