Characteristic
◎ Precision Tolerances:
CNC machined stainless steel parts produced via Swiss-type turning can achieve precision tolerances of ±0.005 mm. This high accuracy is crucial for parts used in industries requiring strict adherence to specifications, such as medical devices and aerospace components.
◎ Surface Finish:
It allows for a smooth surface finish, typically ranging from Ra 0.4 to Ra 1.6 µm, depending on the material and tooling. This level of finish reduces friction and enhances the performance of moving components.
◎ Material Hardness:
Stainless steel grades such as 304 and 316, commonly used in Swiss-type turning, have hardness levels between 70 and 95 HRB (Rockwell Hardness Scale B). These materials offer durability and resistance to wear in demanding environments.
◎ Diameter and Length Capabilities:
We can produce parts with diameters ranging from 1 mm to 25 mm and lengths up to 188 mm. This capability makes them ideal for small, detailed components required in industries such as electronics and automotive.
◎ Corrosion Resistance:
Stainless steel parts benefit from excellent corrosion resistance, particularly when made from grades like 316, which has a maximum carbon content of 0.08% and contains 2-3% molybdenum. This composition makes them suitable for use in harsh environments like marine applications.
Disadvantages:
- Cost: Stainless steel can be more expensive compared to other materials, particularly when using grades like 316 for enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Machining Complexity: Stainless steel's toughness can cause higher tool wear during machining, leading to increased maintenance and production costs.
