Benefits of CNC Machining in Stainless Steel
CNC machining in stainless steel offers multiple benefits. It enables high precision, achieving tight tolerances crucial for complex parts. This results in consistent quality across batches. The process allows for the creation of intricate designs. Also, it’s efficient, reducing production time. With minimal human intervention, it cuts down on errors, ensuring reliable and durable stainless – steel components.
High strength
For parts needed to be machined from thinner metal, stainless steel would be a suitable choice because of its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. More importantly, the strength of stainless steel can be further strengthened via heat curing and cold hardening processes, because stainless steel has great tolerance to harsh environments like extreme temperatures. Martensitic stainless steels hold the highest strengths over other metallurgical structures of stainless steel.
Versatility & flexibility
Stainless steel can be cut, formed, machined, and welded as easily as conventional steel due to its great flexibility. To further improve its formability, sulfur is normally added to stainless steel. The austenitic stainless steel is well-known for its most formable and versatile variation.
Great resistance to corrosion
Stainless steel can be used in many applications given its high corrosion resistance. Different grades of alloyed steel can suffer different levels of corrosion resistance. The grade higher, the capability of resistance to corrosion greater. The austenitic stainless steel is capable to bear exposure to corrosive environments like acids, chloride, and alkaline solutions.
Durability
Using stainless steel in CNC machining can increase the lifespan of parts and cut back on maintenance costs. Stainless steel can also resist rusting and corrosion, so it outperforms other metals with these combined properties at a cost-efficient price.
Appealing appearance
A delicate appearance is always on-demand in the manufacturing industry. Stainless steel can satisfy modern decoration with an attractive appearance since it’s available in a wide kind of surface finishes.
Stainless Steel Material Grades Available with Us
If you’re considering using stainless steel for your CNC – machined part, you can be confident that you’re opting for a material with a plethora of beneficial characteristics. Given the wide range of materials available for CNC machining, engineers often find it difficult to pinpoint the ideal one for particular projects.
However, at HRC Metal, our team of seasoned designers, armed with decades of engineering know – how, is more than ready to take on this challenge. We ensure that the material selection process is seamless and tailored precisely to meet your desired outcomes. Here, we provide a concise overview of the primary stainless – steel grades we have extensive experience working with:
│Stainless steel 316
This stainless steel type has higher chemical and corrosion resistance than 304, so it is ideal for applications in the marine and defense industry, such as boat fittings and chemical tanks. Moreover, it can be formed, machined, and welded as easily as traditional steels.
│Stainless steel 304
This type of stainless steel contains 8% nickel, 18% chromium, and a maximum carbon concentration of 0.07%. Its superior properties such as good formability and corrosion resistance can be shown after CNC machining. It is applied to decorate any kitchen, home design, and theme.
│Stainless steel 303
This is an austenitic steel variety that can be most easily machined. This stainless steel has great toughness but its resistance to corrosion may be lowered when adding sulfur to it. It’s suitable for high volume production by virtue of its good machinability.
│Stainless steel 15-5
This is a precipitation-hardened (PH) metal. Compared to other martensitic grades, it has better transverse properties, strength, and toughness. The low-temperature heat treatment can be used to improve its mechanical properties.
│Stainless steel 17-4PH
This is a precipitation-hardened (PH) steel grade with excellent corrosion resistance and oxidation. It can be hardened up to 44 HRC. The mechanical properties of this steel can be easily enhanced by heat treatment. Applications include gas turbines and chemical processing parts.
│Stainless steel 416
This steel grade offers the pinnacle of machinability. Nevertheless, the enhanced machinability comes at the expense of corrosion resistance. As a result, in comparison to other types of stainless steel, it is typically more prone to erosion.
Finishing Choices in Stainless Steel CNC Machining
We have a broad array of surface finishes at our disposal for CNC – machined stainless steel, including but not limited to:
The original state is left after the stainless steel part is machined. 125 Ra or better can be achievable at Runsom. The surface roughness can be further refined via finishing passes. This is the most common surface finishing method for stainless steel.
Polishing has been pivotal in increasing the aesthetics of metalwork. Apart from this, it also adds the ability that metal t with stands harsh circumstances. Meanwhile, polishing remains instrumental in figuring out the shape of the mold and the final product manufactured using the polished mold.
Bead blasting is a surface treatment method. Small glass, ceramic, or metal beads are propelled at high speed onto the surface of stainless steel parts using compressed air. This process creates a uniform, matte finish. It not only removes surface contaminants like rust and scale but also relieves internal stress. The resulting finish enhances the part’s appearance and improves adhesion for coatings. It’s widely used in automotive, aerospace, and decorative industries.
