Fabrik Process Technology
Fabrik has been active in steel research and product development for nearly 30 years. Our Process Technology Section combines deep expertise with modern lab facilities to help customers create efficient and environmentally responsible solutions.
In addition to this, our specialists provide computational modeling, technical support, and failure analysis. These services support Fabrik’s research and operations across all stages—starting from ironmaking to the final finishing processes.
- Tubular Products Research & Development
Fabrik is well known in the Oil & Gas (O&G) industry and other sectors for our tubular steel products. This includes our API-standard Fabrik Buttress Thread. With support from our Research and Technology teams, we continually deliver new products and solutions that support both our customers and the wider industry.
Our Research and Technology Center works closely with three other Fabrik research locations. In Houston, the headquarters of Fabrik Tubular Products has a skilled product development team that focuses on advancing tubular innovations for the future.
- Research & Technology Center
Fabrik’s Product Technology Section gives engineers access to advanced testing tools, modeling, and failure analysis. These resources help create the next generation of steel solutions for many industries. Inside our labs, new ideas are tested and shaped into practical steel applications.
Mechanical Testing Facilities
At Fabrik, we use automated equipment to perform important tests like tensile and hardness checks. These tests help define the strength and durability of materials. Our testing systems range from 5 to 220 kip and include both tensile and fatigue testing key for product development and customer support.
Electrical Steels Laboratory
This lab focuses on testing cold-rolled magnetic lamination steels used in motors, transformers, ballasts, and electrical devices. It includes QDA furnaces, AC and DC magnetic testers, and tools to measure interlaminar resistance—allowing full evaluation of electrical steel performance.
Cold-Rolling
Laboratory
Our Cold-Rolling Lab features a Bliss four-high single-stand cold reduction mill. It can handle steel strips up to 12 inches wide at speeds of up to 500 feet per minute. With detailed instrumentation, it collects engineering data to optimize cold-rolling. The lab helps refine new techniques for sheet and tin-mill products and tests different cold-rolling oils for improved efficiency.
