STAINLESS STEEL CNC MACHINING SERVICE
Stainless steel CNC machining service s materials Stainless steels are often referred to as problem materials in the field of machining. Above all, the great toughness of stainless steels and their tendency to stick is causing difficulties for many users. Stainless steels, for example, are increasingly prone to build-up edge with increasing nickel content. Also important for the assessment of machinability is the chromium content. Stainless steels are divided into three main groups: austentia, ferritic / martensitic and duplex steels. The steels of the first two groups are significantly better to cut than the latter (see Figure 1). The largest share is held by the austenites; here can again be divided into 4 groups: In optimized for machining so-called "prodec" steels, as they are z. B. Sandvik steel under the trade name "Sanmac" and in normally machined materials, such as 1.4401 or 1.4436. In addition, there are two particularly demanding material c...
