CNC Milling Stainless Steel Parts
Stainless steel is a metal known for its strong corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties. It is widely used across various industries and is an ideal material for milling. There are many types of stainless steel, and to mill all of them effectively, a high-end CNC system is required. This technology is applicable in industries such as automotive, mold-making, shipbuilding, aerospace, and engineering machinery. CNC stainless steel milling is considered the best solution by many industries that require stainless steel parts due to its high precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

FAQ
Q: Is stainless steel hard to mill?
Stainless steel is more difficult to machine than ordinary steel, mainly due to its material properties, which pose special challenges to the machining process.
High Toughness and Work Hardening
Stainless steel has high toughness, which causes plastic deformation during cutting, leading to faster tool wear. During machining, the surface of the material easily hardens (with a hardened layer depth of 0.1-0.3mm), further accelerating tool wear.
Low Thermal Conductivity
Stainless steel has approximately one-third of the thermal conductivity of carbon steel (for example, 304 stainless steel has a thermal conductivity of 16.3 W/m·K). The cutting heat is not easily dissipated, and the tool temperature can quickly rise above 600°C, accelerating tool edge wear.
Stickiness of the Material
At high temperatures, stainless steel tends to stick to the tool material (especially austenitic stainless steel), causing chips to accumulate on the tool edge. This negatively impacts machining accuracy and surface quality.
Q: What is the precision of your CNC milling?
For high-quality CNC machined components, tolerances can reach +/- 0.005 microns. Mid-range tolerances are typically +/- 0.02mm.
Q: Which countries are your CNC parts currently sold to?
A: We are currently mainly selling to Japan, Europe, and the United States
