Stainless Steel and CNC Machining

Stainless steel is an incredibly versatile metal and is often used for CNC Machining and CNC turning in the aerospace, automotive and marine industries. Stainless steel is known for its resistance to corrosion and with various alloys and grades of stainless steel available, there are a wide variety of applications and use cases.

There are five general categories of stainless steel with different alloying elements and material structures:

• Austenitic Stainless Steel
• Ferritic Stainless Steel
• Martensitic Stainless Steel
• Precipitation Hardened Steel
• Duplex Stainless Steel (Austenitic-Ferritic)

Austenitic steel

Austenitic stainless steels are primarily used for products that require strong corrosion resistance. Domestic, industrial and architectural products often use austenitic stainless steel. These could include:
1.Nuts and bolts and other fasteners;
2.Food processing equipment;
3.Industrial Gas Turbines.

Austenitic stainless steels are known for their machinability and weldability, which mean they are often used in CNC machining.  Due to its mainly crystalline structure, austenitic stainless steel cannot be hardened by heat, and makes them non-magnetic. Popular grades include 304 and 316, and contain between 16 and 26 percent chromium.
