Stainless Steel in CNC Milling
Stainless steel refers to a steel alloy resistant to air, steam, water, and chemical corrosive media such as acid, alkali, etc. As its outstanding mechanical properties, stainless steel is popular in CNC milling services, which provides large amounts of precision CNC milling stainless steel parts for surgical equipment, electronics hardware, automotive, aerospace equipment, food processing machinery and more industries. Stainless steel CNC milling process is utilizing the cutting tools to remove materials from the stainless steel stock on the mills. The raw material stock or workpiece is placed on the work table below the spindle that hold a computerized controlled rotary milling cutter, the spindle does the vertical motion while the table is horizontal. CNC mills can conduct multiple operations along 3/4/5 axis to cut the stainless steel milled components as the programmed dimensions. Stainless steels can be classified as martensitic(ferritic), austenitic and duplex (austenitic/ferritic), each type of stainless steel should take different milling operations.
