Alloy Steel CNC Machining

Alloy steel is one of the steel alloys containing different elements such as molybdenum, manganese, nickel, chromium, vanadium, silicon, and boron. These alloying components are included in increased stamina, solidity, wear resistance, and toughness. The amounts of alloying elements may range from 1 and 50%.

Alloy Steel Subtypes

Cost-saving Design Tips

Steel is one of the cheapest materials suitable for CNC machining. However, take care to avoid unnecessary machining costs. Below are some cost-saving design tips:

1.Material selection

Inexpensive though it may seem, it is necessary to select the best steel for your particular application. Utilizing high-strength alloy steel where moderate steel will certainly work increases costs for no included advantage.

2.Part setup

Designing a part to reduce the variety of machining setups can considerably reduce the cost of production. This is particularly true when machining low-cost materials as any cost savings on the material can be quickly removed by costly configurations.

FAQs

1. Which types of alloy steel are commonly machined?

Common alloys include 4140 and4340, known for their strength and toughness.

2. Can alloy steel parts be heat-treated after CNC machining?

Yes, heat treatment can further enhance the mechanical properties of alloy steel parts.
