CNC Parts Custom CNC Milling Machining Service Stainless Steel Part CNC Machining
Stainless steel is a recyclable alloy comprising iron, carbon, and chromium
(ranging from 11% to 18%). This unique composition enhances its durability, elevates
corrosion resistance, even at high temperatures, and prevents rust formation.
Stainless steel exhibits remarkable strength, exceptional corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning
and sterilization, making it particularly valuable in medical equipment. It can withstand extreme
temperature conditions and is highly weldable.
Our CNC services empower you to craft tailor-made stainless steel components suitable for
various industries, including energy, medical technology, agriculture, industrial automation,
machinery, robotics, and construction.

| Common Stainless Steel Materials |
| No. | Properties |
| Stainless steel 304/304L | Stainless steel 304L (CNC) has excellent mechanical properties and good machinability. Resistant to most environments and corrosive media. |
| Stainless steel 316/316L | Stainless steel 316L (CNC) has similar mechanical properties to 304, with higher corrosion and chemical resistance. Ideal for marine applications. |
| Stainless steel 303 | Stainless steel 303 (CNC) has excellent toughness, but lower corrosion resistance than 304. Ideal for high volumes, due to its excellent machinability. |
| Stainless Steel 17-4 PH | Stainless steel 17-4 (CNC) - SAE grade 630 - is a precipitation hardening alloy with good corrosion resistance. Can be hardened up to 44 HRC. |
| Stainless steel 416 | Stainless steel 416 is magnetic and has a high machinability. |
| Stainless steel 2205 Duplex | Stainless steel 2205 Duplex (CNC) is the alloy with the highest strength and hardness. Suitable for applications in severe environments up to 300°C. |
| Stainless steel 420 | Stainless steel 420 provides high strength and corrosion resistance. It is the hardest of all stainless steels when hardened. |
| Stainless steel 440C | Stainless steel 440C has improved toughness and corrosion resistance due to Carbon and Chromium content. |
| Stainless steel 430 | Stainless steel 430 is magnetic and corrosion resistant. |
| Stainless steel 301 | Stainless steel 301 is corrosion resistant similar to Stainless steel 304. |
| Stainless steel 15-5 | Stainless steel 15-5 has a higher toughness than 17-4, better corrosion resistance and transverse properties compared to other similar martensitic grades. |
CNC Machining Applications
The applications of CNC machining are virtually limitless, offering a myriad of possibilities across
various industries. One notable application is in the woodworking sector, where CNC machines
streamline the production of wooden furniture, saving time and reducing costs.
Complex geometries that would traditionally require a skilled woodworker can now be achieved
efficiently through CNC machining. In lettering and engraving systems, CNC technology is utilized
for marking patterns or text onto surfaces, serving both artistic and serialized part needs.
The electrical industry benefits from CNC machining for tasks such as creating component
mounting holes in printed circuit boards and machining heat sinks for heat-generating electrical
components. Precision equipment for the pharmaceutical industry, including metering pumps,
ingredient-dispensing nozzles, and packaging components, is also manufactured using CNC machines.
Even in the fast-moving consumer goods sector, CNC machining plays a vital role in producing
custom material-handling machinery for the food and beverage industry, as well as contributing to
the fabrication of injection-molded plastic molds used in food packaging.
