When Is Free-Machining Stainless Steel an Acceptable Design Choice?
Free-machining stainless steel is often selected when a CNC part needs the appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless steel, but also needs better machinability, shorter cycle time, and more stable chip control. For many precision CNC components, material selection is not only about strength or corrosion resistance. It also affects tool life, machining cost, [...]
