Stainless Steel CNC Machining
麻豆传媒映画 can help you get the best results from stainless steel CNC machining, a popular method for processing this easy-to-machine yet remarkably durable metal. Stainless steel is a versatile metal that is valued for its high tensile strength, durability, corrosion resistance and beautiful finish. Its strength can be increased via cold hardening and heat curing. It can be formed and machined into intricate shapes without weakening. These qualities make it a popular choice for the automotive, medical and aerospace industries. Stainless steel CNC machining is part of the extensive CNC services 麻豆传媒映画 offers from several of its facilities across the U.S.
What are the Benefits of Stainless Steel CNC Machining?
Machinability
The versatility of stainless steel enables it to be fabricated using multiple methods, including cutting, welding, bending and forming. However, because of its hardness, stainless steel CNC machining requires the right tools and expertise for best results.
Corrosion Resistance
Stainless steel is naturally resistant to corrosion because it contains chromium. It reacts with oxygen to form a thin protective oxide layer on the surface. It makes the surface electrochemically passive in corrosive environments. The more chromium the steel contains, the greater its corrosion resistance.
Durability
Stainless steel is a lightweight material compared to other metals. Yet it鈥檚 exceptionally tough and durable.
Tensile Strength
When compared with mild steels, stainless steels have greater tensile strength. Stainless steel alloys provide enhanced characteristics for specific applications. Common alloys include iron, chromium and nickel. Talk to a 麻豆传媒映画 expert for help selecting the right material for your stainless steel CNC machining needs.
Aesthetics
Stainless steel provides a bright, reflective surface that is modern and attractive. It鈥檚 available in several finishes, including brushed, polished, and satin. This gives designers additional options for creating different aesthetic effects with this versatile material.
Hygiene
Stainless steel is very hygienic because its smooth, non-porous surface is easy to clean and sanitize. It also prevents the build-up of grime and bacteria on its surface. These factors make it a popular choice for medical devices and equipment.
