The finish of Steel is similar to that of Stainless Steel, generally shiny in appearance and slightly darker than aluminum alloys.

Galvanneal is a type of steel that undergoes a process combining galvanizing (zinc coating) and annealing (heating) to create a durable, corrosion-resistant surface.  It is commonly used in the automotive, construction, and appliance industries due to its excellent paint adhesion and corrosion resistance.

4140 alloy steel is generally harder and stronger than carbon steel. Additionally, it provides high impact resistance, fatigue strength, and torsional strength, which makes 4140 a great choice for drive shafts, axles, and torsion bars. In terms of hardening, 4140 can be hardened using a variety of methods such as cold working, or heating and quenching.

Galvanized Low-Carbon Steel has an outer coating of zinc to improve corrosion resistance. It is important to note that the coating will only be present on non-machined areas.

A514 Alloy Steel is a high strength, low alloy steel that is used mainly in structural applications. It is weldable, heat treatable and is best suited for supporting heavy loads.

There are 7 grades of steel that are best for machining. The type of parts you need will dictate which grade you choose: 1018 Steel is a mild, low carbon steel that is machinable, weldable and is useful where there are no requirements for high strength. 4140 alloy steel is generally stronger and harder than carbon steel. It provides high impact resistance as well as high fatigue and torsional strength. 1045 Carbon Steel is stronger than low carbon steel but is easy to machine. 4130 Alloy Steel offers better weldability and has a slightly lower carbon content. Galvanized, Low-Carbon Steel has improved corrosion resistance. A514 Alloy Steel is a high strength, low alloy steel with a yield strength of 100K PSI. It is primarily used as structural steel in construction. 4340 Alloy Steel is a medium carbon that is highly useful in applications where components will experience extreme impact, heat, and wear.

4130 Alloy Steel is similar to 4140 Alloy Steel but offers better weldability and has a slightly lower carbon content. It is best suited for gears and other structural applications.

We exist to eliminate bottlenecks in new product development by integrating the people, processes, and platform you need to source custom parts.

1045 Carbon Steel is stronger than low carbon steel (1018 Steel) but is easy to machine. It is heat treatable and can be used for bolts, studs and shafts.

Steel is the workhorse of the industry because of its economical cost, wide availability, ease of processing and good mechanical properties. Most steels have good machinability and weldability and take well to heat treatments. Some are stronger and harder than others but most steels offer a combination of toughness and wear resistance.

What is an arbor inmachining

Steel is a good choice in terms of strength and durability, but its weight is the biggest drawback in comparison to other materials. There are more than 3500 grades of steel to work with and different grades behave differently when being machined. Some types of steel are specifically designed for greater ease when machining. Some steels have high work hardening tendencies and this necessitates the need to keep the machining process moving so there is no unnecessary heat build up. With CNC machining steel it is also important to keep tools sharp.

To reduce costs, limit the number of part setups, the number of inspection dimensions or tight tolerances, and deep pockets with small radii.

12L14 & 1215 are carbon steels that are resulfurized and rephosphorized, which makes them easy to machine. However, they have a comparitively low level of carbon, so they have less strength than other cold-drawn grades of steel.

A36/1018 Steel is a mild, low carbon steel that is machinable, weldable and useful where high-strength is not required, such as fixtures and mounting plates. It is magnetic and heat treatable.
