Advantages to Metal Rails

Image
Have you ever caught a glimpse of metal handrails? They are unique, creative, subtle, or even magnificent. There are no limits when it comes to the creativity that can be incorporated into a metal staircase, whether that’s the railing or the entire structure. Here are a few things that your local Lake of the Ozarks welder wants you to know about metal staircases, and how I can help! They Are Sturdy When you are thinking about the railings for your stairs, whether in your home or in a commercial setting - there is one key component, durability. You want to choose a material that is strong and will ensure the safety of those using it. Stainless steel is definitely one of the most durable materials and a very popular choice for railings. Stainless steel provides strength, and can even be a stronger choice than wood. Another advantage is that they are rustproof (especially when you powder coat them), with can make them ideal for outdoor railings. They Are Easy to Maintain When

Welding is powerful. With some metal, creativity, and a lot of heat you can build just about anything. While this is just the very broad overview of what welding is, we wanted to take a bit of time to really delve into welding, the different types, and what makes them different. Augello’s Welding at the Lake of the Ozarks uses welding to complete all sorts of amazing projects, like boat stairs, railings, custom fabrication projects, and more. Here are a few things you may never have known about metal to get your gears going. MIG Welding, AKA: GMAW And, no, that does not stand for “Grandma” although grandma’s who weld are pretty amazing! GMAW stands for Gas Metal Arc Welding, and MIG stands for Metal Inert Gas. The idea of combining two pieces of metal together with a wire that is connected to an electrode current is called MIG welding. When performing this type of welding, a shielded gas is used along the wire electrode, which heats up the two metals to be joined. This consta

January is Creativity Month, and we thought it would be a fun time to showcase all of the creative uses for welding. While it’s commonly used for fabricating and building, welding is an extremely creative avenue of expression. Of course, even fabricating can be a very creative way to use welding, especially when it involves broken pieces or creative ideas. Creative Metal Art Welding seems industrial, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s extremely beautiful when used in artistic ways. At Augello’s Welding , we use metal to create custom art pieces. From beautiful custom railings to rocky balboa statues, there really is no limit to the creativity that you can find through welding. Take a look at these fun examples of creativity in the field of welding that we’ve gotten to experience over our years in business! Welding Art There are many ways to showcase art through welding.
