Reasonable cutting parameters for stainless steel processing

The processing of stainless steel can be divided into rough processing and finishing. For rough machining, YW and YT carbide with relatively low TiC content can be selected. YW and YT carbide with high TiC content can be selected for finishing.

Secondly, in order to prevent edge chipping during stainless steel processing, the strength of the blade should be increased, and it is best to choose a small rake angle or a negative rake angle. When using carbide to process stainless steel, the preferred helix angle is 5-10 degrees. If using high-speed steel end mills, 35-45 degrees should be selected. When milling stainless steel, it is best to choose an end mill with a large helix angle. If you want to mill stainless steel pipes or thin-walled workpieces, you can choose a tapered end mill.

Commonly used stainless steel milling machines

For carbide stainless steel milling, the milling machine speed should be 40~60m/min. The feed amount should be greater than 0.1mm to avoid the appearance of hardened layer edges and accelerate tool wear.

High-speed steel end mill, cutting speed 8~40m/min, feed speed 0.013~0.15mm/z.

Stainless steel CNC milling is often used to process various mechanical parts, which cover many fields such as mechanical equipment, automobiles, aerospace, and medical equipment. Mechanical equipment parts usually include:

Bearings: Stainless steel bearings are often used in environments that require high corrosion resistance and wear resistance, such as food processing equipment, marine engineering, etc. CNC milling can be used to process bearing seats, bearing housings and other parts.

Connectors: Connectors are common parts in various mechanical equipment, such as bolts, nuts, washers, etc. Stainless steel connectors are usually used in environments that require corrosion resistance, such as chemical equipment, marine engineering, etc.

Transmission components: Transmission components include gears, couplings, drive shafts, etc., which are used to transmit power to various parts of mechanical equipment. Stainless steel gears are often used in food processing equipment, medical equipment and other places with high hygiene requirements.

Pipes and fittings: Stainless steel pipes and fittings are often used to transport liquids, gases, powders and other media, such as pipe connectors, elbows, tees, flanges, etc. CNC milling can be used to process the interfaces and connecting parts of pipes.
