Most likely, you use stainless steel every day of your life in your home, whether for cooking, electronics, screws, outdoor uses, or cutlery. It is an excellent choice for commercial and industrial services, including surgical tools, internal vehicle components, aircraft gear, and more. Using CNC machining, these kinds of alloys may be formed into nearly anything, including wire, coils, tubes, plates, bars, and sheets!
However, a tremendous amount of expertise and talent is required to generate consistent results every time with stainless steel machining. Stainless steel is one of the most challenging materials to deal with, yet the advantages greatly outweigh the drawbacks.
Durability and Resistance
In comparison to other metals, cold-hardened stainless steel possesses higher strength. This implies that thinner materials may be used in stainless steel machining, lowering cost and weight. To further reinforce it, we may also utilize a heat-curing procedure.
Stainless steel offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, pitting, and cracking. We are aware that many of the parts we manufacture are used in challenging conditions where corrosion threatens the equipment’s overall performance and safety.
Stainless steel performs admirably in harsh environments and high and low temperatures. Many of our industrial clients want the durability that stainless steel delivers.
Numerous Grades to Choose From
More than 100 stainless steel grades have somewhat varied alloy compositions. For a steel to be classified as “stainless,” it must contain at least 10.5% chromium. Other elements may also be added.
For example, 316 steel possesses molybdenum, while 304 steel does not. Alloy 316 steel provides better corrosion resistance against chloride solutions in chemical solvents and heavy-duty industrial situations. Molybdenum is suitable for the oil and energy industries since it defends against saline surroundings.
