CNC Steel Machining
We provide a wide range of CNC steel machining services to our clients. The CNC machining services we offer include carbon steel, alloy steel, tool steel, and stainless steel cnc machining.
Among the most commonly used metals in the world, steel is the most prevalent. however, various types of steel on the market to meet the needs of different applications. There are four types of steel: carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and tool steel.
Carbon Steels
Carbon steels are most common. From cars to buildings, they can be found everywhere. There is a great deal of carbon in carbon steels, but there is not much else in them. Steel made with carbon is a type of steel that is manufactured by adding carbon to iron. Carbon steels come in different varieties, depending on the iron’s carbon content in them.
Carbon steel is classified as either low carbon steel or high carbon steel. Carbon content in low carbon steel ranges from 0.02% to 0.25%, and manganese and silicon may be present in small amounts. Steels with medium carbon content contain 0.2%-0.4% carbon, while steels with high carbon content contain 0.4%-0.9%. The amount of carbon in a product can affect its weldability, corrosion resistance, and performance.
Structural applications typically use carbon steel as a low-cost material. There is a high degree of resistance to abrasion in low carbon steels due to the low carbon content. In comparison with medium and high carbon steels, they are not as strong, but can be used in less harsh environments.
Steels with medium carbon content contain a higher percentage of carbon than steels with low carbon content. However, they still do not have enough ductility to qualify as tough steels. Silicon and manganese are commonly present in these materials, and they do not have the same amount of heat resistance as premium grade materials. In automotive engines, these types of steel are generally used, since they are cheaper and can withstand higher temperatures better than other types.
Strong steels are made from steel with a high carbon content. This group of steels is very difficult to weld since they readily form the stiff and brittle martensite phase as they cool. Cutters, springs, abrasion-resistant components, high strength wires, and abrasion-resistant components are the primary uses for this steel type.
Alloy Steels
A steel alloy is different from a steel because other metals are mixed in, such as copper, nickel, and chromium. As a result of these metals, alloy steel is stronger than carbon steel. Alloy steel has a different chemical composition than carbon steel. Corrosion and rusting are less likely to occur in alloy steels. Due to the additional metal required for alloy steel production and the increased energy consumed during production, alloy steel is often more expensive than carbon steel. Various metals can be combined to make alloy steels, including chromium, nickel, molybdenum, titanium, vanadium, tungsten, and others. Among the most commonly used metals in the world, steel is the most prevalent. There are, however, various types of steel on the market to meet the needs of different applications. There are four types of steel: carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and tool steel.
