CNC Turning Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is known for its durability and corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice for a variety of applications. However, machining stainless steel can be challenging due to its toughness and the risk of work hardening. CNC machining can solve these issues, providing precise, efficient and cost-effective production of complex stainless steel parts.

Product Description

Stainless steel is a versatile and durable material that is widely used in various industries, including aerospace, engineering, medical, and automotive. This corrosion-resistant metal requires precise turning techniques to maintain its integrity and structural stability.

 

The process of CNC turning stainless steel parts involves spinning the metal component on a lathe while a cutting tool carefully shaves off layers of material. This process is repeated until the desired shape and size are achieved. The result is a smooth and precise finish that meets the exact specifications of the design.

Product Feature

Stainless steel is a popular material due to its strength, durability and resistance to corrosion. There are many different types of stainless steel available, each with their own unique properties and characteristics.

 

1. 304 Stainless Steel - This is the most commonly used part of CNC turning stainless steel and is known for its excellent resistance to corrosion, heat and oxidation. It contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, making it highly versatile and ideal for a wide range of applications.

 

2. 316 Stainless Steel - This type of stainless steel is often used in harsh environments such as marine environments and chemical processing plants. It has a higher concentration of molybdenum compared to 304 stainless steel, giving it superior corrosion resistance.

 

3. 430 Stainless Steel - Known for its good corrosion resistance, 430 stainless steel is used in household appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers and ovens. It contains 17% chromium and has a lower resistance to heat and oxidation compared to other types of stainless steel.

 

4. 201 Stainless Steel - This is a cost-effective stainless steel option that is commonly used in the food industry and for decorative purposes. It has a lower nickel content and higher manganese content compared to other types of stainless steel, making it more affordable.

 

5. 904L Stainless Steel - This type of stainless steel is widely used in the chemical and petroleum industries due to its high resistance to corrosion. It contains high levels of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, which make it extremely durable and able to withstand harsh environments.

 

Different types of stainless steel have different applications. For example, 304 stainless steel is commonly used in food processing equipment and kitchen appliances, while 316 stainless steel is often used in marine environments and chemical processing plants. 430 stainless steel is commonly used in household appliances, and 904L stainless steel is used in chemical and petroleum industries.

Process

Turning is a common machining process used to create cylindrical shapes and remove material from a workpiece's surface. The cutting tool rotates while the workpiece is held in a chuck and turned by the spindle. This process is usually used in the manufacturing industry to create a variety of products ranging from small parts to large components used in airplanes and heavy machinery.

 

One of the essential elements of turning is achieving the proper cutting speed. The cutting speed is the surface speed of the workpiece relative to the cutting tool. The cutting speed should be set to match the workpiece's material composition and the type of cutting tool used. Proper cutting speed ensures that the cutting tool doesn't overheat or wear out too quickly.

 

Another crucial factor in turning is feed rate. The feed rate is the distance the cutting tool moves across the workpiece's surface per revolution. The feed rate should be set to match the cutting speed and the material's hardness. A slow feed rate can lead to poor surface finishes, while a high feed rate can cause excessive wear on the cutting tool.

 

The depth of cut is also essential in turning. The depth of cut is the distance the cutting tool moves into the workpiece. The depth of cut should be chosen based on the machine's capability, the workpiece's material, and the desired surface finish. A deeper cut can remove more material quickly, but it can also put more stress on the machine and the cutting tool.

 

 

Application
