Stainless Steel CNC Machining Services

> High Strength And Toughness: Tensile Strength 500-1500MPa (Austenitic Stainless Steel Elongation Up To 40%).

> Strong Corrosion Resistance: stable In atmospheric and freshwater environments (more than10 times stronger than steel).

> Severe Work Hardening: Hardness Increases By 20-30% During Cutting Need To Use Sharp Tools.

> Low Thermal Conductivity: Only 1/3 That Of Carbon Steel (About 16W/M·K), Easy To Generate High Cutting Temperature.

> Fast Tool Wear:It is Recommended To Use TiAlN Coated Tungsten Carbide Tools (Tool Life ls Half That Of Steel Processing).

> Obvious Tool Sticking Phenomenon: Need Sufficient Cooling (Water-Based Cutting Fluid ls Recommended).

> High Surface Quality Requirements: Easy To Produce Vibration Marks,Finishing Needs To Reduce Cutting Depth To Below 0.1mm.

Which type of stainless steel is best?
Austenitic stainless steel is best due to its high anti-corrosive properties, greater strength,toughness, and ductility. However, you must consider the application of the steel to findthe best type.
