CNC Drilling 904L Stainless Steel from VT machining delivers precision 904L Stainless Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Programmed drilling produces accurately positioned holes, including deep and pattern hole arrays, with parameters tuned to 904L Stainless Steel, which is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic.
CNC Drilling Capability for 904L Stainless Steel
- Austenitic/martensitic grades
- Corrosion resistant
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Typical hardness 70–200 HB (annealed)
Machining 904L Stainless Steel with CNC Drilling
When machining 904L Stainless Steel, machinability is moderate; work-hardens, so positive-rake tooling and steady feeds are used to avoid glazing. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for 904L Stainless Steel mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most 904L Stainless Steel parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
CNC Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish
For CNC Drilling, dimensional and positional tolerances around ±0.01 mm are routine, tightening toward ±0.005 mm on precision setups. Surface finish on machined faces typically falls in the Ra 0.4–1.6 µm range depending on tooling and pass strategy.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
CNC Drilling Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
Why 904L Stainless Steel?
Customers select 904L Stainless Steel for CNC Drilling because it is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Design Tips for CNC Drilling 904L Stainless Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in 904L Stainless Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Drilling 904L Stainless Steel
904L Stainless Steel parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.
