STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a versatile material used extensively in various industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. Let’s dive deeper into the details of the stainless-steel machining services and the different types of stainless steel alloys you’ve mentioned:

Stainless Steel CNC Machining Services:

Precision CNC Machining Services: Precision machining involves creating complex parts with tight tolerances. The services we offer, such as tapping, countersinking, thread milling, counterboring, boring, threading, and 3 & 4-axis milling and turning, are crucial for achieving high-quality results.

CNC Milling and Turning Services: Utilizing live tooling and multi-axis machinery allows for efficient and accurate machining of stainless steel components.

Stainless Steel Types We Work With:
Bold Alloy 302: An austenitic stainless steel known for its corrosion resistance and ductility. It tends to work harden, but adjusting machining speeds can mitigate this effect.

Alloy 303: Easily machineable, this grade exhibits excellent toughness. Sulfur addition may impact corrosion resistance and toughness. Proper care includes sharp cutting edges, chip breakers, and ample coolant/lubrication.

Alloy 304: Comprising 8% nickel and 18% chromium, this austenitic stainless steel offers exceptional corrosion resistance. It’s commonly used in appliances and is weldable using various methods.

17-4 PH Stainless Steel: A precipitation-hardenable martensitic steel with good mechanical properties. Heat treatment can further enhance its properties.

Alloy 400 Series: These stainless steels have high carbon content and exhibit martensitic crystalline structure. While they provide wear resistance, they aren’t excellent corrosion inhibitors.

Remember that selecting the right stainless steel alloy for a specific application is crucial. Factors like corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and weldability play a significant role. Your expertise in machining these alloys ensures high productivity and quality. Keep up the great work!
