Frequently Asked Questions
What makes steel machining more challenging than aluminum?
Steel is generally harder and stronger than aluminum, which can increase cutting forces, heat generation, and tool wear during machining. Our engineers select suitable tooling, cutting parameters, and machining strategies based on the steel grade and part geometry.
Can you machine hardened or heat-treated steel and provide secondary services?
Yes. We can machine certain hardened and heat-treated steels using appropriate tooling and machining parameters. We also coordinate secondary services such as heat treatment, plating, powder coating, and other finishing processes according to your requirements. Please provide the material grade, hardness, and required finishes when requesting a quote so we can recommend a suitable production approach.
What tolerances can your steel CNC machining achieve?
Our standard steel CNC machining tolerance can reach ±0.02 mm, with tighter tolerances (up to ±0.005 mm) available for specific features and applications. Actual achievable tolerances depend on the steel grade, part geometry, dimensions, and required machining process.
What is the lead time for steel CNC machined parts?
Lead time depends on the material, part complexity, quantity, finishing requirements, and inspection requirements. For standard prototype projects, our typical lead time is 3–7 days, while larger or more complex orders may require additional production time.
Can you provide complete services from machining to finishing and assembly?
Yes. We can coordinate steel CNC machining, inspection, surface treatment, secondary processing, and assembly to provide a complete turnkey manufacturing solution. This helps reduce supplier coordination and keeps the production process streamlined.
