Provides machining services for a wide range of materials
CNC Machining Material Introduction
CNC machining, or computer numerical control machining, is an automated machining technology that realizes high precision and high efficiency by controlling the trajectory of the machine tool through a computer program. In modern manufacturing, CNC machining Materials has become an indispensable means of manufacturing because of its ability to meet the needs of mass production of complex parts. However, the quality and efficiency of CNC machining depends largely on the material selected.

Material selection is critical to CNC machining and is directly related to the functionality, durability, cost-effectiveness, and ultimately the competitiveness of the product in the marketplace. Correct material selection ensures a smooth machining process, reduces production defects and scrap rates, and also enhances product performance and service life. For example, aluminum alloys are commonly used in aerospace and automotive manufacturing due to their light weight and good mechanical properties, while stainless steel is widely used in chemicals and medical devices due to its excellent corrosion resistance.
In addition, the physicochemical properties of the material, such as hardness, temperature resistance, wear resistance and heat treatment characteristics, are also factors to consider when CNC machining. Different material properties determine their specific requirements for cutting speed, tool selection and cooling methods during machining. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the properties of various materials is important for optimizing CNC machining processes and improving product quality.
At JST Industry, we offer comprehensive CNC machining services and have extensive experience in material machining. We encourage our customers to communicate with our engineers at the design stage in order to provide them with expert material selection advice and machining solutions to ensure that their products are manufactured both economically and efficiently. Through careful material selection and precise CNC machining, we help our customers’ products stand out in the marketplace.

CNC Machining Material Compare
In the machining industry, different materials exhibit different machining characteristics and applications during CNC machining due to their unique physical and chemical properties. The following is a detailed comparison of the differences and variations in CNC machining of aluminum, stainless steel, brass, alloys and plastics:

Aluminum
Lightweight: Aluminum alloys have a low density, which makes them popular in applications where weight reduction is required, such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing.
High Thermal Conductivity: Aluminum alloys have excellent thermal conductivity, making them ideal for parts that need to dissipate heat quickly, such as radiators or heat exchangers.
Machinability: Aluminum alloys are easy to cut and form, but CNC machining generates a lot of heat and requires careful cooling to prevent distortion.

Stainless Steel
Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation, making it suitable for use in chemical, medical and food processing applications with high sanitary standards.
Strength: Stainless steel has a high degree of strength and hardness, making it excellent in environments subject to heavy loads or high stress.
Machining Difficulty: Stainless steel is relatively difficult to machine, requiring the use of more abrasion-resistant cutting tools, and cooling and lubrication are more important during the machining process.

Brass
Mechanical Properties: Brass has good mechanical properties, including high strength and excellent cold working properties.
Aesthetics: Brass has a distinctive golden appearance and is often used for decorative parts or applications requiring good electrical conductivity.
Machining Characteristics: Brass has slower cutting speeds than aluminum alloys during CNC machining, but still maintains good machinability.

Alloys (Alloy)
Application-specific Advantages: Depending on their composition and proportions, different alloys exhibit different properties, such as high strength, toughness, or resistance to high temperatures.
Versatility: Alloys are available in a wide variety of materials and can be customized to meet the needs of specific applications.
Machining Requirements: CNC machining of alloys may require special tooling and machining parameters to accommodate their hardness and heat treatment properties.

Plastic
Versatility: Plastics range from general-purpose to engineering plastics, each with unique properties and applications.
Cost Effective: Plastics are generally low cost and easy to mass produce for cost-sensitive applications.
Ease of Machining: CNC machining of plastics is relatively simple and does not require the same high cutting forces as metals, but care needs to be taken to prevent thermal distortion during machining.

Q: Me gustaría saber cómo afecta la selección de diferentes materiales en el proceso de mecanizado CNC al coste final del mecanizado.
En JST Industry, somos conscientes de que la selección del material tiene un impacto significativo en los costes de mecanizado CNC. El tipo de material, la dificultad de mecanizado y la disponibilidad en el mercado influyen en su precio. Por ejemplo, el acero se utiliza ampliamente debido a su menor coste, mientras que las aleaciones de titanio y ciertas aleaciones avanzadas son más caras debido a su mayor coste de material y dificultad de mecanizado. Además, la maquinabilidad del material también afecta al coste; por ejemplo, las aleaciones de aluminio suelen ser menos caras por su facilidad de mecanizado. Nuestro sistema de presupuestos tiene en cuenta todos estos factores para garantizarle la estimación de costes más precisa.
