Custom CNC Machining Stainless Steel Parts

We are machining 201, 304, 316, 316L, 420, 17-4PH, duplex stainless steel customized part according to customer’s drawing.

Custom machining stainless steel parts involves several steps, including material selection, process design, the use of machining equipment, and final surface treatment. Given the characteristics of stainless steel, the following points should be considered when customizing parts:

1. Material: Stainless steel comes in different grades (e.g., 304, 316, 420, 17-4PH, duplex stainless steel), and the appropriate grade should be chosen based on the part’s operating environment. For example, 316 stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance, making it suitable for marine environments or medical devices.
2. Machining Processes:
   • CNC Milling: Ideal for machining complex shapes and parts requiring high precision.
   • CNC Turning: Used for cylindrical or rotationally symmetric parts, such as shafts or threaded components.
   • Drilling and Tapping: Stainless steel’s hardness requires controlling drill speeds and using appropriate cooling fluids.
   • Surface Treatments: Stainless steel parts can undergo polishing, electropolishing, or passivation to improve surface finish and corrosion resistance.
3. Tolerance Requirements: High-precision stainless steel parts often require strict tolerance control to ensure proper assembly and functionality. We can offer high-precision machining with tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm.
4. Surface Finishing: Stainless steel parts can undergo various surface treatments such as mirror polishing, electroplating, or coating to enhance aesthetics or corrosion resistance.
