CNC Machining: A Guide to Material Selection for CNC Machining

CNC machining plays a key role in many processing and manufacturing industries such as defense, aerospace, electronics, and automobiles. It is gaining popularity every day due to its unique benefits. It can carry out 5-axis CNC machining, milling, turning, turning and milling, drilling, grinding, extrusion, forging, welding, high and low pressure casting and other different types of CNC machining processes, so as to produce high-precision, high-quality, error-free, CNC machining parts with high machining efficiency.



In order to obtain the desired quality in CNC machined parts, accurate dimensions, suitable materials, tooling and other features must be selected. Material selection plays a vital role in the production of CNC machined parts. CNC machines are capable of machining a wide variety of materials such as metal, plastic, wood and foam.



Due to the wide variety of materials available, proper material selection is critical to the correct execution of CNC machining operations. The selected material must have all the necessary properties required by the customer. These properties may include strength, thermal stability, chemical resistance, hardness, stiffness, etc. Remember that budget plays an important role in choosing the right material.
