Are all the metal materials suitable for CNC Machining?

CNC machining China

CNC machining is the process of producing precision parts with exacting tolerances. It's typically used for aerospace, automotive, agricultural, electronic, energy, medical and military. As advanced technology continues to develop and techniques improved, in order to make more precision cnc milling parts, choosing the right material for cnc machining is very important. Do you think all materials can be processed with precision cnc machining?

The answer is NO. Generally speaking, CNC machining material used for precision CNC machining need to have excellent dimensional stability, machinability, easy for processing, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance. If the hardness of some raw materials is too high, exceeding the hardness of the processed parts, the parts may crack. Therefore, these raw cnc materials are not suitable for CNC precision processing, but they are good for laser cutting.

In this article, we will discuss the various metal CNC materials that are suitable for CNC machining.

1. What is CNC Machining?

CNC machining is referred to as machining, traditional machining are manually operated ordinary machine tool operations, processing by hand shaking the mechanical tool cutting metal, by eye with calipers and other tools to measure the accuracy of the product. Modern industry has long used the computer digital control of machine tools for operations, CNC machine tools can be in accordance with the technical staff pre-programmed automatically on any product and parts directly processed. This is what we call "CNC machining". CNC machining is widely used in all mechanical processing of any field, but also the development trend of mold processing and important and necessary technical means. "CNC" is the English Computerized Numerical Control (computer digital control) abbreviation. It is the use of digital information on the machine tool movement and machining process control of a method.

2. What is the CNC Machining Materials?

As the name entails, CNC machining materials are compatible with the CNC machined process. In CNC machining there quite a lot of material properties that make machining processes easy for projects and the project owners. Examples of such properties include machinability, yield strength, tensile strength, hardness, and many more. When these factors are considered, CNC machining becomes easy to carry out.

3. How to select the right Material?

There are hundreds of metal alloys available for CNC milling and turning, and one of them for your next project depends on various factors including price, weight, machinability, strength, corrosion resistance, and appearance.

4130 structural steel has high strength and toughness, high hardenability, and the critical hardenability diameter in oil is 15~70mm; the thermal resistance of steel is also good, with sufficient high temperature strength below 500℃, but at 550℃ Its strength is significantly reduced; when the alloy element is at the lower limit, the welding is quite good, but when the alloy element is close to the upper limit, the weldability is medium, and it needs to be preheated to above 175℃ before welding; the steel has good machinability and medium plasticity during cold deformation.

(6)   CNC Machining Titanium Material

Titanium Grade 5 Stronger than Grade 2, equally corrosion-resistant, and excellent biocompatibility. Titanium alloy of cnc material density is generally around 4.5g/cm3, only 60% of steel, titanium strength is only close to the strength of ordinary steel, some high strength titanium alloy exceeds the strength of many alloys structural steel.

Balance

Before processing precision mechanical parts, we must pay attention to the density of the material. If high the density means a high hardness. If the hardness exceeds the hardness of the lathe tool, it cannot be cnc lathe machined, which will not only damage the parts, but also cause danger. So generally speaking, for cnc mechanical processing, the material quality must be lower than the hardness of the machine tool.So ntot all materials can be precisely processed,unless they are special materials or laser cutting.

Dongguan Worthy Hardware, founded in 1998 by Mr. Su, has been very professional at processing various materials.Worthy Hardware together with its technical team continuously optimizes our technology for optimal results .
