The types of steel that can be processed by CNC mainly include carbon structural steel, alloy structural steel and stainless steel. These steels are widely used in CNC processing due to their different characteristics and applicable scenarios.
Carbon structural steel is a steel with a high carbon content, which is usually used in low-strength and low metal corrosion resistance processing occasions. Commonly used carbon structural steels include Q235 and Q345. This type of steel has the characteristics of high hardness, good wear resistance and strong toughness, and is suitable for turning, milling, stamping and other processing operations.
Alloy structural steel is mainly doped with various elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and cobalt, and has higher strength and toughness than carbon structural steel. Commonly used alloy structural steels include 65Mn and 40Cr. This type of steel can meet the processing requirements with high requirements for strength, toughness, wear resistance, etc., and is suitable for parts with complex shapes and high-precision mold processing operations.
Stainless steel is a high-alloy steel with corrosion resistance. Commonly used stainless steels include 304 and 316. This type of steel has super corrosion resistance and good processability and mechanical properties. It is suitable for processing occasions such as the aviation industry and the food industry that have strict requirements on the corrosion resistance of materials.
