Threading in sheet metal fabrication is crucial for secure and reliable assembly. Traditional methods like captive fasteners are effective but require time-consuming secondary operations. At Atlas Manufacturing, we’re advancing efficiency with our extrude and tap process, which integrates threading directly into the fabrication workflow. Let’s dive into how this process delivers precision, speed, and cost savings.…

Galvanized sheet steel carries its corrosion protection in a thin zinc coating bonded to the base metal. The protection holds as long as that coating stays intact, but every fabrication step that cuts, shears, bends, or welds the sheet disturbs the zinc in some way. A laser cut vaporizes it. A weld burns it off…
