Steel CNC Parts Machining

CNC Machining With Steel

Manufacturers in many industries choose steel for manufacturing various products because of its strength, versatility and availability. These same companies often depend on CNC machining to achieve the production speeds and accuracy they need to stay on pace with their competitors. CNC processes use advanced cutting technology and computerized programs to manufacture parts with exceptional repeatability and efficiency.

DW Products features an extensive line of CNC milling, turning and finishing equipment to handle nearly any production need, whether you’re looking for prototypes or large-scale orders. Our knowledgeable engineers have years of experience working with steel and other materials such as aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, and plastic, to produce some of the market’s most precise, most durable and highest-performing machined products.

Benefits of Using Alloy Steel CNC Machined Parts

Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron and often contains other elements like phosphorus, silicon and oxygen to make it softer and more machinable. The carbon content improves its fracture resistance and strength to offer higher durability rates than some softer metals like aluminum or bronze. 

More features that set steel apart from other metals include the following:

• Stainless Steel Corrosion resistance.
• Fast feeding times and machine speeds.
• A lower cost than denser metals.
• Minimal wear on cutting tools.
• Smooth surface finishes.

Machining Applications for Low- and High-Carbon CNC Machined Parts

Manufacturers prefer low carbon and softer steel in large-scale production runs for its superior machinability and efficient production times. While medium- and high-carbon steel cannot deliver the same fast speeds, they work better for applications requiring a denser and more structurally sound substrate. Steel alloys are present in products across a broad industry range, including agriculture, automotive, and heavy vehicle.

Product examples include:

• High-strength screws and bolts.
• Bearings.
• Spindles.
• Tie rods.
• Anchor pins.
• Bushings.
• Axles.
