110,000 psi 8% Rockwell C20 0.28 lbs / cu. in. 800° F

17-4PH Stainless Steel Properties

Precipitation-hardened (PH) stainless steel is renowned for its strength and durability. It is more resistant to corrosion and has greater hardness and strength; ideal for use in high-temperatures, moist environments such as gas turbines, chemical processing plants, and industrial machinery.

Yield Strength (tensile) Elongation at Break Hardness Density Maximum Temp
160,000 psi 7% Rockwell C35 0.28 lbs / cu. in. 1100°F

Advantages of Stainless Steel Machining

Corrosion resistance

Stainless steel's chromium content (10.5%+) forms a self-healing oxide layer that resists rust, chemicals, and pitting. Premium grades like 316L withstand chlorides and acids, making them ideal for medical and marine environments.

Versatility

Available in 50+ grades from machinable 303 to ultra-strong 17-4PH, stainless steel retains properties from cryogenic (-150°C) to extreme heat (800°C+), enabling CNC milling, turning, welding, and post-treatment hardening.

Durability

Stainless steel delivers exceptional lifecycle performance, withstanding extreme temperatures, repeated sterilization, and mechanical stress while maintaining structural integrity for decades with minimal maintenance.

High Strength

Stainless steel delivers exceptional structural integrity with reduced mass, enabling weight-critical components that maintain durability under load.

Stainless Steel CNC Machining FAQs

  • What is stainless steel CNC machining?

    Stainless steel CNC machining refers to the process of using computer numerical control (CNC) machines to shape and fabricate stainless steel components. It involves the use of precision tools and computerized instructions to remove material from stainless steel workpieces, creating intricate and precise parts.

  • Which grades of stainless steel can be used in CNC machining?

    CNC machining can be performed on various grades of stainless steel, including austenitic (e.g., 304, 316), martensitic (e.g., 410, 420), ferritic (e.g., 430), and precipitation hardening (e.g., 17-4 PH) stainless steels. The choice of grade depends on the specific application requirements such as corrosion resistance, strength, and heat resistance.

  • How thin can you machine stainless steel?

    Thin walls require extra care when CNC machining stainless steel. The absolute minimum thickness is 0.5mm for metals. To minimize costs and machining time, it’s recommended to increase the thickness of thin walls to at least 0.8mm. Unless weight is a determining factor thicker walls are more stable and less costly. Thin features are susceptible to vibration, creating extra complexity and requiring considerably more time in machining operations.

  • How much does CNC stainless steel cost?

    The cost of CNC machining stainless steel depends on the complexity and size of the part and the type of stainless steel that is used. These variables will affect the type of machine that is required, the time it takes to produce the part, and the cost of the raw material. Contact us and get an instant cnc machining quote today.

  • What are some common applications of stainless steel CNC machining?

    Stainless steel CNC machining is widely used in numerous industries and applications. It is commonly employed in manufacturing parts for the aerospace, automotive, medical, and food processing industries. Some examples of parts produced through stainless steel CNC machining include valves, fittings, fasteners, surgical instruments, and components for industrial machinery.
