Metalwork Near Me

Metalwork is the craft of working with metals to create individual objects, as opposed to bulk metalworking (such as a smithy) where metalworkers use machines and mass-produced tools to shape tons of metal. While a smith may choose one or two different kinds of metal in which he specializes, such as forging swords, blades for knives and other weapons, jewelry makers will often work with a variety of alloys. They might be using brass for an elaborate chandelier one day, copper and silver together for some custom tableware sets the next day, followed by steel and iron several days later when creating gates. Metalworking also encompasses the closely related fields of jewellery, silversmithing, and goldsmithing.

Metalwork may have been a part of the first industries in history, with evidence suggesting that its technology was developed further than related fields such as ceramics and textiles. Metals can be cast and shaped when hot for greater efficiency in producing complex objects, but also more flexibility than ceramics and wood; they retain heat longer and are easier to transport. Metalworking has evolved from the discovery of smelting (ca. 4000 BC) to the present day technologies for which many people no longer live near metal sources that need converting into finished goods. Recent advances in modern technology including steelmaking, welding, chemical processing, machining/manufacturing, metallurgic processing, electronic control systems and automation have reduced the role of manual metalworking in production to a few specialized jobs.

Metalwork has evolved into industrial processes, and many products that were once made of metal now have non-metallic equivalents; for example, stone is now just as common as metal in foundry work (although it is still difficult to make complex shapes and sizes with stone which must be worked by hand). Metalworking has become increasingly automated since the Industrial Revolution, though humans operate manipulators or robots to do welding, painting, assembly, material handling and inspection while ensuring quality control.
