CNC Stainless Steel Machining

Stainless steel is an important metallic material widely used in various fields. The processing technology varies depending on the application requirements and the shape of the final product. Here are some common stainless steel processing techniques:

1. Cutting:

Cutting: Stainless steel plates are cut to the required size using mechanical scissors, shearing machines, or hydraulic shearing machines.

Cutting: High precision cutting of stainless steel using cutting tools such as laser cutting, plasma cutting, and flame cutting.

Bending:

Using hydraulic bending machines, roll bending machines, and other equipment to bend stainless steel and produce curved components such as bent pipes and angle irons.

2. Welding:

Stainless steel can be connected through various welding methods, including TIG (argon arc welding), MIG (gas metal arc welding), resistance welding, etc. The welding of stainless steel requires special welding materials and operations to maintain its anti-corrosion performance.

3. Cold Forming:

By cold drawing, cold rolling and other methods, stainless steel rods, tubes and other materials are cold formed to produce products of different shapes.

4. Hot Forming:

For certain stainless steel alloys, high-temperature hot forming techniques such as hot rolling and forging can be used to achieve higher shape changes and material properties.

5. Machining:

Using mechanical equipment such as lathes, milling machines, and drilling machines, precise cutting, milling, and drilling processes are carried out on stainless steel to produce precision components.

6. Surface Finishing:

The surface treatment of stainless steel is a key step, including polishing, sanding, acid washing, electroplating, etc., to improve appearance and enhance corrosion resistance.
