Machining Center
CNC machining, distinct from traditional machining, accomplishes
the same metal cutting, drilling,
milling, boring, grinding, and other metal forming and removal
functions, but with the key
difference of utilizing computer numerical control instead of
manual operation by a skilled machinist.
Traditional machining involves a manual approach where a machinist
operates the machine, removing
or forming metal based on specifications from designers and
engineers.
This process employs various tools such as turn wheels, dials,
switches, chucks, vices, and cutting
tools made of materials like hardened steel, carbide, and
industrial diamond.
In CNC machining, the automated process is driven by code developed
by programmers, ensuring
consistent precision from the first cut to subsequent repetitions.
Commonly used in digital
manufacturing and occasionally in low-volume production, CNC
machining allows for easy revisions
and alterations for modifications and diverse materials.
While traditional machining is still relevant, CNC machining has
largely superseded it in
manufacturing, fabrication, and industrial production due to its
enhanced precision and automation.
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.
| Common Stainless Steel Materials |
| No. | Properties |
| Stainless steel 304/304L | The most common alloy and is known for its pristine surface finish.
It has significantly higher corrosion and oxidation resistance.
Typically used in the manufacture of sensor parts, shafts,
machinery parts, medical parts, and more. |
| Stainless steel 316/316L | It is slightly higher levels of chromium and nickel that exhibits
improved heat tolerance, resistance to creep and pitting, and
excellent tensile strength. Typically used in the manufacture of
sensor, chemical & pharmaceutical equipment parts, and more. |
| Stainless steel 303 | It is a non-magnetic, austenitic stainless steel with good
resistance to mildly corrosive atmospheres, but significantly less
than 304. Typically used in the manufacture of screw, gears,
fittings, bushings, shaft, and more. |
| Stainless steel 420 | It is a martensitic stainless steel with good corrosion resistance
as well as strength and hardness. It is capable of being heat
treated to a hardness of HRC 51 minimum. Typically used in the
manufacture of pivots, cams, pump shafts, surgical instrument
parts, valve components, and more. |
| Stainless steel 440C | It is a martensitic stainless steel, and is the highest carbon
content from 400 stainless steel series. It is usually heat treated
to reach hardness of 58 - 60 HRC. Typically used in the manufacture
of valve seats, piston, shaft, and more. |
| Stainless steel 430 | It is a non-hardenable ferritic stainless steel with excellent
finish quality. It has good corrosion resistance with good
formability and ductility. Typically used in the manufacture of
fittings, flanges fasteners, piston, and more. |
| Stainless steel 430FR | It is a free-machining solenoid quality alloy, ideal for parts that
require corrosion resistance and high electrical resistivity. It
has excellent corrosion resistance in fresh water, gaseous,
moderately acidic, and low chlorine environments. |
| Stainless steel 630 | It is commonly referred to as 17-4 and is a precipitation-hardening
martensitic stainless steel that offers superior corrosion
resistance. It is magnetic, readily welded. Typically used in the
manufacture of sensor housing, valve, pump shaft, and more. |

Applications of Stainless Steel Parts
CNC turning services play a pivotal role in diverse industries,
notably in transportation sectors
such as aerospace, automotive, mass transit, rail and locomotive,
military, and trucking.
Within these sectors, CNC machines are employed for designing
crucial transportation equipment,
including headnuts, gear blanks, bearing blocks, levers, axles, and
rotors.
In the construction industry, CNC machines are utilized to create
robust bolts and screws from
metals like stainless steel and aluminum, essential for heavy-duty
applications.
Additionally, CNC turning services are integral to the production
of various auto parts, including
engine components like cylinder heads, connecting rods, and
camshafts, transmission parts such
as shafts and rings, as well as suspension components like sway
bars, control arms, and tie rod
ends.
The aviation industry also heavily relies on CNC turned parts,
utilizing them for the customization
and creation of probes, joint connectors, fasteners, and engine and
aircraft components, often
opting for titanium due to its capability to withstand extreme
temperatures.

FAQ's
1. What industries do you typically work in? Who are your typical
customers?
It's hard to find an industry we haven't collaborated with! Our
clientele represents diverse
sectors, including heavy equipment manufacturing, general
commercial enterprises, and businesses
in industrial, transportation, medical, and consumer domains, among
others.
Our customer base extends across the United States, Europe, and
beyond. What unites them is a
shared requirement for precision-machined parts delivered on time
and within budget constraints.
2. Can you ensure my designed component dimensions and tolerances
are suitable for
production?
Count on our team of experienced professionals to provide robust
"Design for Engineering" (DFM)
support, ensuring that your designed component dimensions and
tolerances are suitable for
production.
We understand the need for quick turnarounds during the idea
testing phase and are committed to
providing prompt quotes. For a detailed overview of the entire
order progression, refer to our
production process page.
3. 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,
