Stainless Steel Parts

CNC machining, an abbreviation for Computer Numerical Control machining, operates as a

subtractive manufacturing technology, autonomously removing material from raw stock guided

by computer-generated instructions. Generally, CNC machines can be classified into two types:

those that keep the raw stock stationary while rotating the cutting tool, and those that rotate

the raw stock while moving it against a stationary tool.

Various modifications and combinations of these fundamental approaches are employed, allowing

some machines to integrate both techniques for the production of intricate parts with complex

features.

Product Details

Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it suitable for situations

where a part may be exposed to the elements for a long period of time. Stainless steel is also

fairly malleable and ductile.

Stainless Steel Finishing and Post-Processing

The finish of stainless steel can vary significantly depending on the surface roughness.

However, it is typically described as shinier compared to unfinished aluminum alloys,

and it tends to have a slightly darker and more silver color.

Stainless steel offers flexibility in achieving various surface finishes, including options such as

media blasting, sanding, hand-polishing, and powder coating.

These processes can be employed to achieve a wide range of surface finish textures and

appearances.

CNC Machining Applications

CNC machining stands as a cornerstone in subtractive manufacturing, playing a pivotal role in

numerous industries. Some of the most prominent sectors leveraging CNC machining include:

1. Aerospace: Precision and reliability are non-negotiable in aerospace applications. CNC machining

is crucial for producing intricate and accurate components for aircraft and spacecraft, meeting the

demanding standards of the industry.

2. Automotive: The automotive sector relies heavily on CNC machining for the fabrication of

precision parts, contributing to the efficiency, performance, and safety of vehicles.

3. Aviation: Similar to aerospace, the aviation industry benefits from CNC machining's precision

in crafting components that adhere to strict quality and safety regulations for optimal aircraft

performance.

4. Transportation: Beyond air and land, the transportation industry, encompassing rail and

maritime sectors, integrates CNC machining for the production of robust and precise components

that endure challenging operational conditions.

These industries showcase the versatility of CNC machining, where its capabilities are harnessed

to meet the stringent demands of manufacturing in sectors where precision, durability, and

quality are of utmost importance.

FAQ's

1. How much do CNC machining materials cost?

The diverse range of materials available for CNC machining introduces variability in costs,

influenced by both the specific material properties and overall characteristics.

When opting for metal parts, Aluminum 6061 emerges as a cost-effective choice.

For budget-conscious projects, ABS stands out as the most economical option.

It's essential to note that machining difficulty plays a crucial role in cost determination.

Materials like stainless steel, being harder than aluminum, pose greater machining challenges,

leading to an escalation in overall costs.

2. What are your tolerances for machined parts?

For machined parts, our tolerances typically adhere to +.005”/- .005” local tolerances across

most metal geometries and +/- 0.010" for plastics. It's important to note that these tolerances

may vary for large parts, especially concerning flatness after heat treatment.

For an "As Milled" finish, a minimum surface finish of 125 is maintained for CNC parts.

Fabricated parts come with a 0.010” dimensional tolerance and a 1° angular tolerance.

Tapped holes not explicitly designated as features in the CAD model may be machined to

the diameters specified.

Additionally, no surface treatments, such as anodizing, bead blasting, iriditing, powder coating,

etc., will be applied unless expressly paid for and acknowledged.

3. How does you ensure the quality of my parts?

After order confirmation, we conduct a thorough Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review to

pinpoint any potential issues that could affect part quality. Incoming materials undergo rigorous

inspection and verification using advanced testing equipment.

Final inspection reports are generated before shipment. Moreover, we provide the capability to

share inspection data in real-time, allowing us to collaborate on addressing any quality concerns

that may arise during the production process.

4. Can passivate my parts?

Passivation is a surface treatment that modifies the chemistry of specific metals.

Our services include passivation for purposes such as corrosion protection, increased durability,

and enhanced cosmetic appearance.
