Introduction
Frame Fabrication is the core structural component of the container house, determining its overall strength and stability. This stage primarily involves bending and welding processes to assemble the cut steel into the house’s skeleton.
Equipment
- Bending Machine / Press Brake: Used to bend steel plates or sections to the designed angles, forming various connecting or structural components of the frame.
- Welding Equipment: Includes CO2 gas shielded welders (MAG/MIG) and manual arc welders, used to join bent or cut steel components.
- Straightening Platform: Ensures that welded frame components are flat, preventing structural distortion caused by heat deformation.
Materials
- Cut Steel Plates and Sections: Primarily uses the steel plates and sections cut in the previous step.
- Welding Electrodes/Wires, Shielding Gas: Used for welding connections.
- Anti-rust Primer: Applied after welding to protect the steel from corrosion.
Operation
Workers precisely bend the cut steel using a bending machine according to design blueprints. Once bent, components are assembled according to their designated positions and securely joined using professional welding techniques. Strict deformation control is maintained during welding, followed by weld seam inspection and anti-rust treatment.
