Why Choose Huacheng Hardware for CNC Machining Of Stainless Steel
Core Capability Parameters for CNC Stainless Steel Machining
Materials Guides for CNC Machining Stainless Steel
| Material grade | Material Core Performance | Characteristics of CNC Machining |
|---|---|---|
| 304(0Cr18Ni9 | General-purpose austenitic stainless steel; resistant to neutral corrosion; tensile strength of approximately 520 MPa. | The cutting speed is controlled at 100–150 m/min; the material exhibits a moderate tendency for work hardening, and tool wear is controllable. |
| 316L(00Cr17Ni14Mo2) | Low-carbon, molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel with exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, and marine corrosion. | Due to the higher toughness, the coolant flow rate must be increased during cutting to prevent the material from sticking to the tool, which would result in surface roughness exceeding specifications. |
| 303 | Free-machining austenitic stainless steel with added sulfur to improve machinability. | Chip evacuation is smooth, machining efficiency is 20% higher than that of 304, and high-speed turning is achievable. |
| 440C | Martensitic stainless steel; high hardness (HRC 55 or above) and excellent wear resistance. | For finish machining after quenching, it is necessary to control thermal deformation to avoid dimensional deviations. |
