304 Stainless Steel Parts

CNC machining, standing for Computer Numerical Control machining, is a subtractive

manufacturing technology where material is automatically removed from raw stock according

to computer-generated instructions. In broad terms, CNC machines are categorized 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 deviations and combinations of these basic

approaches exist, allowing some machines to employ both techniques simultaneously to produce

parts with intricate features.

Product Details

The CNC machining process predominantly employs metals as its primary materials.

These metals encompass alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper,

magnesium, and zinc.

Nonetheless, this versatile process can also be applied to machine plastic components and work

with an array of other materials, including ceramics, composites, thermoplastics, and thermosets.

Post-processing and surface finishes for CNC machining

CNC-machined parts as they emerge from the machine often exhibit visible tool marks,

a feature that may not align with your specific part requirements.

Fortunately, there exists a multitude of post-processing techniques aimed at enhancing the

surface appearance and elevating attributes such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance,

and chemical resistance.

Methods like anodizing, bead blasting, and powder coating present viable options for refining

the final presentation of your custom parts, allowing you to achieve the desired surface

quality and performance characteristics.

Specialist Industries

The utilization of CNC machining spans a multitude of industries, with a significant presence in

aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, robotics, and agriculture, particularly in the production

of metal components.

Beyond these, CNC machining is integral to the manufacturing processes of medical devices,

household goods, and various consumer applications. Its prevalence extends into sectors such as

energy, oil and gas, making CNC machining one of the most pervasive and essential manufacturing

techniques globally.
