Steel CNC Machining Process
As a professional CNC machining service provider, AOOM Technology specializes in delivering high-precision steel components for industries ranging from aerospace to automotive. This article explores the critical aspects of steel CNC machining, addressing common challenges and showcasing our technical expertise.
Understanding Steel CNC Machining
Steel is one of the most widely used materials in precision manufacturing due to its exceptional strength and durability. The CNC machining process for steel involves advanced milling, turning, and drilling operations to create complex geometries with tight tolerances (typically ±.005mm). At AOOM, we utilize 5-axis CNC centers equipped with carbide tooling specifically designed for hardened steels.
Key Advantages of Our Steel Machining Capabilities
1. Material Expertise: We machine all steel grades including 304/316 stainless, tool steels (D2, H13), and alloy steels (414, 434)
2. Surface Finish Options: From Ra .8μm mirror finishes to textured surfaces for specific applications
3. Quality Assurance: In-house CMM inspection and ISO 9001-certified processes
