CNC stainless steel is the manufacturing of stainless steel through the use of Computer Numerical Control. The best way to cut stainless steel sheet and plates is by using CNC cutting equipment which can be programmed to modification.
Precision stainless steel machining is used by many companies and is more focused on cutting precision stainless steel parts. There are a couple of things to be considered before cutting CNC stainless steel. They include;
- Maintain high cutting speed rates. CNC machining equipment require high speed rates cutting to maintain the fine finishes demanded by stainless steel
- Expect a lot of heat to be released and keep in mind that large tools give too much heat
- Use lubricants and coolants to counter heat energy produced on the surface of the material
- Use sharp tools and always have a look out for wear. If it wears, replace it because dull tools cause work hardening and also erosion of the metallic surface.
- Use high speed rates because the feed rate does not affect heat.
Some of the applications of CNC Stainless steel cold be used for milling processes, countersinking, turning material, drilling metal, counterboring, boring, threading, fine finishing, 3 axis and 4 axis milling and turning, reaming and tapping.
All these processes are used to make rivets, medical gadgets, spacers, shafts, gears, marine Parts, pins, rods, bolts, gears, engine parts, studs, bolts, nuts, handles, , hospital and lab instruments, vehicular parts, pressure tanks, electronic parts and cables
