In the world of manufacturing, precision and efficiency are key.
CNC machining has revolutionized the industry by offering
high-quality, custom-made parts. One such material that is widely
used for CNC machining is 304 stainless steel. In this article, we
will explore the various aspects of CNC machined products made from
304 stainless steel, including material specifications, drawing
formats, production processes, surface roughness, treatment
methods, inspection instruments, and applications.
304 stainless steel is a versatile and corrosion-resistant material
commonly used in various industries, including automotive,
aerospace, and medical. It is an austenitic stainless steel,
characterized by its excellent strength, durability, and heat
resistance. Additionally, it exhibits good formability, making it
suitable for CNC machining processes.
To accurately manufacture CNC machined parts, precise
specifications are necessary. The drawing format plays a vital role
in communicating the design requirements to the CNC machining team.
Commonly used drawing formats include AutoCAD (DWG), SolidWorks
(SLDPRT), and STEP (STP). These formats allow for detailed 2D and
3D representations of the parts, ensuring precise dimensions and
tolerances are met.
CNC lathe processing is the preferred method for manufacturing
non-standard parts using 304 stainless steel. CNC lathes are
advanced machines capable of rotating the workpiece while it is
being machined, enabling precise cutting and shaping operations.
The CNC programming language, often G-code, controls the movement
and cutting operations of the machine, resulting in accurate parts
production.
Surface roughness is a crucial factor in CNC machined parts, as it
determines the quality and appearance of the final product. The
surface roughness of parts made from 304 stainless steel can be
enhanced through various treatments, including polishing, grinding,
and electropolishing. These treatments improve both aesthetic
appeal and corrosion resistance, making the parts suitable for
applications requiring a smooth and polished finish.
To ensure the quality and accuracy of CNC machined parts, thorough
inspection measures are employed. Several instruments are used for
inspection purposes, including coordinate measuring machines (CMM),
calipers, micrometers, and height gauges. These instruments aid in
verifying dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and overall
compliance with design requirements.
CNC machined products made from 304 stainless steel find
application in a wide range of industries. Some common uses
include:
TORICH is an enterprise that has been producing precision steel
pipes and steel pipe processing for over 20 years, with a factory
area of approximately 20000 square meters
