FAQs

What’s the major difference between aluminium and stainless steel for fabrication?

Aluminium is typically lighter and more malleable, which can make it well suited for projects in a wider range of industries. Comparatively, stainless steel is heavier, stronger, and more durable, making it the preferred choice for products that need more longevity and high corrosion resistance. Both materials can be cut with plasma cutting, and aluminium components can be finished with powder coating for added protection or visual appeal.

How do you approach stainless steel fabrication projects with unique requirements?

Weld East starts all projects with coming to understand unique requirements of the project itself, including environment, load, corrosion exposure and finish expectations. From there, we plan the appropriate fabrication methods and equipment that suit both the material and the intended use to deliver a solution with reliable long-term performance.

Does a coastal environment impact materials?

Yes, a coastal environment like Perth can play a major role in certain products, making it important to consider. With a lot of Australian projects being situated on or near the coast, salty air from the ocean plus exposure to the elements can accelerate corrosion. Custom solutions using stainless steel products often perform better in these environments than their aluminium counterparts, although this doesn’t mean aluminium should be ignored.

What are the main differences between 304 and 316 grade stainless steel?

Grade 304 and Grade 316 are two of the most widely used stainless steels, and the difference between them comes down to composition and performance. Both are versatile, durable and commonly supplied by leading steel manufacturers. Grade 304 is used across everyday applications and is reliable for general fabrication and suits projects where corrosion levels are moderate. Grade 316 is quite similar but with higher resistance to salt and other chemicals making it good for handling chemicals and aggressive substances.
