To better meet the performance requirements of your product, selecting the right material is crucial. If you have a great idea (product) and detailed design but are unsure how to choose the most suitable CNC machining materials for the parts, we are here to help. This guide will provide some characteristics and machining elements of various materials to help you select the ideal material for your product:
Choosing Based on Machinability:
Low hardness, good plasticity, toughness, and stability. Suitable materials include plastics, aluminum alloys, and brass. Titanium alloys and carbon fiber materials required by some special industries are also suitable for machining.
Choosing Based on Product Application:
If good electrical and thermal conductivity is needed, choose copper.
If high strength and light weight are required, for metals, choose titanium alloys; for plastics, choose PEEK or carbon fiber materials.
If insulation and high hardness are needed, choose ceramic materials. For wear-resistant metals, choose tungsten steel.
For the food and medical industries, choose stainless steel and silicone materials.
Choosing Based on Post-Processing Requirements:
If the product requires high aesthetic standards, diverse colors, and surface treatments like anodizing or painting, prioritize aluminum alloys.
If the product needs to be corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, and requires plating or PVD treatment, prioritize steel.
For a natural metal appearance and corrosion resistance, choose stainless steel.
Choosing Based on Processing Techniques:
CNC Machining: A wide range of materials can be chosen, including aluminum alloys, brass, steel, stainless steel, plastics, and titanium alloys.
Injection Molding: Mainly plastic materials, including PE, PP, ABS, PA66, POM, PMMA, etc.
Casting: Aluminum alloys, stainless steel, and steel.
Sheet Metal Processing: Aluminum alloys, steel, and stainless steel.
Die Casting: Aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, and zinc alloys.
Choosing Based on Product Cost:
To meet structural performance requirements, prioritize ordinary carbon structural steel. Only choose high-speed steel or alloy steel if special mold life requirements exist.
For aluminum materials, try to choose ordinary aluminum, such as 1-series and 6-series aluminum.
