At XTJ Precision Mfg

we specialize in high-precision CNC steel machining, delivering custom parts that offer unmatched strength, durability, and versatility.

Why Choose Steel for CNC Machining?

Steel, primarily an iron-carbon alloy with up to 2% carbon and optional alloying elements like chromium or nickel, is the backbone of modern engineering due to its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio and adaptability. It outperforms many metals in load-bearing scenarios, providing a cost-effective alternative to exotic materials while maintaining reliability in extreme conditions. Compared to softer alloys like aluminum, steel’s higher hardness enables longer-lasting parts but demands optimized machining to manage tool wear and heat.

High Strength and Hardness

Withstands heavy loads and impacts, ideal for structural and mechanical components.

耐摩耗性

Excels in abrasive environments, reducing downtime and replacement needs.

多用途性

Easily heat-treated for tailored properties, from ductile to ultra-hard.

コストパフォーマンス

Abundant and recyclable, offering excellent value for high-volume production.

Corrosion Options

Alloyed variants like stainless steel provide protection in harsh settings.

Our CNC expertise harnesses these traits to create parts with precise geometries and minimal defects, surpassing casting or forging in speed and accuracy for complex designs.

Steel Material Properties

Steel alloys are engineered by varying carbon content (0.05–2%) and additives, customizing traits for specific demands. Typical properties include:

These qualities position steel as a staple for parts needing superior mechanical performance and environmental adaptability.

Available Steel Grades for Machining

We maintain a comprehensive inventory of steel alloys for your CNC projects. Below is a curated list of popular grades, highlighting essential specifications:

Secondary operations such as heat treating, passivation, or zinc plating boost durability and aesthetics. Prototypes ship in 3–5 days, with streamlined scaling for larger orders.

公差と精度基準

Excellence in precision defines us. We adhere to ISO 2768-m standards (±0.005–0.010 mm), refining to ±0.001 mm using CMMs and laser scanners. Alloy hardness and part dimensions affect outcomes—low-carbon steels like 1018 yield tighter specs with less expansion.

Steel Machining FAQs

Drawing from our deep knowledge at XTJ Precision Manufacturing, here are responses to frequent queries on CNC steel machining.

1.Is steel easy to machine?

Steel machinability varies by grade—low-carbon like 1018 is straightforward with good chip formation, while high-carbon or stainless types demand slower speeds to avoid hardening.

2.What is the best machinable steel alloy?

1018 mild steel tops for ease, scoring 70–80 on machinability scales due to its softness and ductility; for stainless, 303 excels with sulfur additives for smoother cuts.

3. Can CNC machines effectively cut steel?

Yes, CNC excels at steel with robust tooling and cooling, handling everything from milling to turning for precise, repeatable results on complex parts.

4. What’s the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel?

Carbon steel prioritizes raw strength and affordability but rusts easily, while stainless adds chromium (10%+) for corrosion resistance at a higher cost and machinability challenge.

5. Are coolants necessary when machining steel?

Essential, especially for stainless or alloy steels, to dissipate heat, prevent galling, and extend tool life—high-pressure systems are standard in our operations.

6.What are the limitations of steel in CNC machining?

Higher density increases weight and machining time versus aluminum, plus potential warping from heat treatment; however, its strength justifies use in demanding roles.
