CNC EDM Drilling 302 Stainless Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. 302 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 302 Stainless Steel
- Austenitic/martensitic grades
- Corrosion resistant
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Typical hardness 70–200 HB (annealed)
Machining 302 Stainless Steel with CNC EDM Drilling
When EDM machining 302 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 302 Stainless Steel mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Design Tips for CNC EDM Drilling 302 Stainless Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 302 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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most 302 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 EDM 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.
CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 302 Stainless Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
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.
