As a leading CNC Machining service provider, EMAR specializes in delivering high-precision stainless steel parts for industries ranging from aerospace to medical devices. This article explores the advanced methods, best practices, and EMAR's expertise in transforming raw stainless steel into complex functional components.
Why Choose CNC Machining for Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel's exceptional corrosion resistance and strength make it ideal for critical applications, but its hardness poses machining challenges. Our CNC stainless steel machining processes overcome these through:
- Optimized cutting parameters for different grades (304, 316, 17-4PH, etc.)
- Advanced tooling solutions to minimize work hardening
- Precision cooling systems to control thermal deformation
Key CNC Machining Methods for Stainless Steel
EMAR employs multiple stainless steel machining techniques based on part requirements:
1. CNC Milling
Our 3/4/5-axis milling centers create complex geometries with ±.01mm tolerances. We utilize:
- High-performance carbide end mills with specialized coatings
- Trochoidal milling strategies to reduce tool wear
- Custom fixtures for thin-walled components
2. CNC Turning
For rotational parts, our Swiss-type lathes achieve superior surface finishes (Ra .4μm achievable):
- Live tooling for complete machining in single setup
- High-pressure coolant systems
- Automated in-process gauging
3. Multi-Axis Machining
Complex contours benefit from our 5-axis simultaneous machining capabilities:
- Reduced setups improve accuracy
- Continuous tool engagement enhances surface quality
- CAM programming optimizes tool paths
EMAR's Quality Assurance
Every stainless steel component undergoes rigorous inspection:
- CMM measurement (up to .005mm accuracy)
- Surface roughness testing
- Material certification verification
With over 15 years of CNC machining experience, EMAR delivers stainless steel parts that meet the most demanding specifications. Contact our engineering team to discuss your project requirements and receive a DFM analysis.
