What is Stainless Steel CNC Machining? / /

CNC or Computer Numerical Control machining uses pre-programmed software to direct the movement of manufacturing equipment. Mills, grinders, lathes and more can all be controlled using CNC technology. A single set of prompts can be used to direct three-dimensional cutting tasks. The cost of manufacturing is greatly reduced as no live operator is needed. CNC is perfect for the manufacturing of metal products, including stainless steel. Stainless steel has many desirable features and can be used for many applications.

What are the Benefits of Stainless Steel in CNC Machining? / /

Due to its many advantages, stainless steel is commonly used for CNC machining. Stainless steel has good uniformity and machinability. Stainless steel is also known for its high ductility, formability, workability and weldability. Additionally, stainless steel has high corrosion and wear resistance, oxidation resistance, durability, longevity and tensile strength. Everything from construction equipment to medical components is made from stainless steel.

What Types of Stainless Steel are Used in CNC Machining? / /

Fathom offers a variety of stainless steels suitable for CNC machining, including:

• Alloy 302: Stainless steel 302 is a high carbon alloy. 302 is known for its machinability, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Applications of stainless steel 302 include cryogenic components, items for food and beverage use, and pressure vessels.
• Alloy 303: Stainless steel 303 is an austenitic stainless steel alloy that includes sulfur. 303 is easy to machine, grind, and polish. Applications include architectural components, nuts, bolts, aerospace parts, etc.
• Alloy 304: Stainless steel 304 is a widely used material. 304 is easy to form, weld, and machine. Applications include sinks, saucepans, and parts for the industrial, architectural, and transportation industries.
• 17-4 PH Stainless Steel: 17-4 stainless steel is another widely used raw material. 17-4 offers hardness, corrosion resistance, and excellent tensile strength and can be used in high-temperature environments. Applications include chemical processing components, ball bearings, fasteners, gate valves, etc.
• Alloy 400 Series: 400 series stainless steel is composed of chromium, carbon, and nickel. Alloy 400 offers excellent corrosion and wear resistance and good weldability. Applications include chemical processing components, marine industry, propeller shafts, electronic components, salt and freshwater tanks, piping, etc
