Stainless steel is widely used in aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and industrial equipment due to its excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. However, during CNC machining, stainless steel's high hardness, low thermal conductivity, and work hardening characteristics often lead to issues such as tool wear, part deformation, and low machining efficiency. To achieve high-precision, high-quality machining results, it is necessary to deeply understand these challenges and adopt corresponding process optimization strategies.

Stainless steel offers numerous advantages that make it ideal for various applications:
Compared to low-carbon steel, brass, and various aluminum alloys, stainless steel has higher tensile strength and is less likely to fracture even when subjected to strong tension. This property is particularly suitable for parts that need to withstand repeated bending and rolling, maintaining structural integrity under long-term loads.
Some stainless steel grades maintain stability and mechanical strength even in extremely low-temperature environments. For example, austenitic steel exhibits excellent toughness and higher tensile strength at sub-zero temperatures. However, it should be noted that not all stainless steel varieties have this property, so rational material selection based on actual application environments is necessary.
Stainless steel's corrosion resistance stems from its chromium content, which reacts with oxygen on the steel surface to form a dense chromium oxide protective film, effectively preventing water stains and rust. This property allows stainless steel to maintain long-term stability in harsh environments such as high temperatures and pressures.
