CNC Honing Alloy 42 is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. Alloy 42 is matched/low thermal expansion for sealing, and we combine controlled finishing with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Honing Capability for Alloy 42
- Matched/low thermal expansion
- Glass-to-metal sealing
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Electronics-grade
Machining Alloy 42 with CNC Honing
The machinability of Alloy 42 is moderate; gummy, requires sharp tooling and careful thermal control. For CNC Honing we select tooling, feeds and coolant to match, keeping the Alloy 42 workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Why Alloy 42?
Specifying Alloy 42 for CNC Honing Alloy 42 is usually about its properties: matched/low thermal expansion for sealing. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.

What surface finish is achievable on Alloy 42 with CNC Honing?
Our finishing processes refine Alloy 42 surfaces to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm for cosmetic or sealing faces.
Why is Alloy 42 a good choice for CNC Honing?
Alloy 42 is matched/low thermal expansion for sealing, which makes it well suited to CNC Honing. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Alloy 42 finishing part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Does CNC Honing Alloy 42 require dedicated tooling?
Most Alloy 42 finishing work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
Can VT machining make custom Alloy 42 parts to my drawing?
Yes. Alloy 42 Alloy 42 finishing is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Honing Alloy 42?
Achievable tolerances for Alloy 42 finishing depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What is CNC Honing Alloy 42 and how is it done?
CNC Honing Alloy 42 refers to honing finishes bores with abrasive stones to precise size, roundness and a cross-hatch surface. Applied to Alloy 42 — matched/low thermal expansion for sealing — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
