Methods of processing stainless steel

Are you interested in the ways of processing stainless steels from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find the necessary information on this topic.

General classification of processing methods. Mechanical restoration

Mechanical processes for processing stainless steel include milling, turning, drilling and threading. Stainless steels are generally more difficult to cut than standard carbon steel, and the general rule is that the higher the alloying level of steel, the more difficult it is to process. Ferritic grades are usually easier to process than standard austenitic grades.

Of stainless steel grades, free-treatment classes are most similar to carbon steel. These grades often have an increased content of sulfur or selenium to facilitate the destruction of chips. Such brand marks have a 40% better workability compared to standard grades.

When machining stainless steels, it is important to use tools and inserts designed for stainless steel, and to ensure optimum tool life, the recommendations of the tool supplier should be followed. In particular, duplex stainless steels can only be machined with a hard alloy tool. Some grades of stainless steels (in particular, austenitic grade) can be processed with tools made of high-speed steels.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase assortment of products made of different brands of stainless steels. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.

Plastic deformation of stainless steels in the cold state

Cold stamping of stainless steel, as a rule, differs from deformation of low-alloy and simple carbon (soft) steels, mainly because stainless steels are stronger, harder and more ductile. These characteristics force you to apply more energy and power to the workpieces, take more into account the durability of the process equipment and tooling (stamps), and also apply such processes that avoid damage to the surface. It should be remembered that almost all grades of stainless steel are hardened when deformed. The formability of steel is largely determined by the rate at which the yield point reaches the ultimate tensile strength when the material is subjected to cold working.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers various kinds of ground products from stainless steel of domestic and foreign production. The products are offered at affordable prices from the manufacturer. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.
