Using Stainless Steel for CNC Machining

Stainless steel offers improved corrosion resistance compared to its standard steel counterparts, thanks to the addition of chromium alloys. Precise mixtures of alloys in different stainless steel grades provide higher heat treatability and machinability, with unique properties to suit every application. Heat treatment can significantly alter the mechanical properties of stainless steel, allowing for tailored results after CNC milling/machining.

CNC Finishes

Finishes and Post-Processing Options

As-Machined: As-machined is the most basic and economical CNC finish, often used in applications where the surface won’t be visible, and appearance isn’t a priority.

Bead-Blasted: Bead-blasted CNC machining produces a matte finish with texture and evenness. The finish is achieved by blasting stainless steel with an abrasive media such as glass beads, aluminum oxide, or silicon carbide. Bead blasting creates a consistent look in end products with multiple parts machined from the same material.

Anodized: Anodizing creates a protective oxidation layer on the surface of a part, usually through electrochemical processes. Anodized CNC machined parts can be dyed in different colors. This finish is often used for stainless steel parts that will be exposed to an outdoor environment, as the oxidation layer helps protect them from rust and corrosion.

Powder-Coated: Powder coating is a type of finishing applied to machined parts, where a polymer-based powder coating is melted and cured onto the surface. It’s a durable and cost-effective finish that can be used to add color and texture, as well as provide additional corrosion protection.

Applications & Industries

Aerospace

CNC machining has for several years been an integral part of aerospace manufacturing. That’s partly down to the extremely high precision of CNC machines, making the process suitable for safety-critical parts that will be used on aircraft.

Machinable aerospace parts include prototype engine components, fuel panels, landing gear components and engine mounts.

Mold Making

CNC machining and EDM are the main methods to fabricate metal tooling for injection molding, high pressure die casting, blow molding, roller molding, stamping, blending and so on.

High speed CNC machines allow us to make high precision copper patterns, mold cavities, mold base, lifter and other mold components in very short term. Moreover, with 5 axis milling machines, we can mill the deep pocket features in hours which take days to make by EDM in the past. That’s how we can speed up the mold making process significantly.
