Machining Stainless Steel
Stainless grades can vary substantially in machinability and mechanical behavior, making the exact material specification important.
Choosing the Stainless Grade
The correct grade depends on corrosion exposure, strength, temperature, fabrication requirements and the final application.
What to Send for a Quote
Provide the drawing or CAD file, exact material grade, quantity, critical dimensions, finish and secondary operation requirements.
Cost Considerations
Material price, machining time, tooling, geometry, quantity and outside processing can all affect the finished part cost.
