CNC EDM Drilling 202 Stainless Steel

CNC EDM Drilling 202 Stainless Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. 202 Stainless Steel is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic, and we combine controlled EDM machining with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.

CNC EDM Drilling Capability for 202 Stainless Steel

• Austenitic/martensitic grades
• Corrosion resistant
• Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
• Typical hardness 70–200 HB (annealed)

Machining 202 Stainless Steel with CNC EDM Drilling

202 Stainless Steel behaves predictably under CNC EDM Drilling once parameters are dialled in: machinability is moderate; work-hardens, so positive-rake tooling and steady feeds are used to avoid glazing, and we tune the operation accordingly.

We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of 202 Stainless Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.

Secondary Operations & Finishing

Finished 202 Stainless Steel parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.

CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish

EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 202 Stainless Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.

Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.

Design Tips for CNC EDM Drilling 202 Stainless Steel

We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 202 Stainless Steel that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.

CNC EDM Drilling Quality & Inspection

We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every 202 Stainless Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.

Why 202 Stainless Steel?

202 Stainless Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.

Applications of CNC EDM Drilling 202 Stainless Steel

Customers order CNC EDM Drilling 202 Stainless Steel components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.
