VT machining specialises in CNC Milling 316 Stainless Steel. Because 316 Stainless Steel is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic, and its machinability is moderate; work-hardens, so positive-rake tooling and steady feeds are used to avoid glazing, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Milling Capability for 316 Stainless Steel
- Austenitic/martensitic grades
- Corrosion resistant
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Typical hardness 70–200 HB (annealed)
Why 316 Stainless Steel?
Customers select 316 Stainless Steel for CNC Milling because it is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Applications of CNC Milling 316 Stainless Steel
Typical uses for CNC Milling 316 Stainless Steel include precision 316 Stainless Steel components for instrumentation, automotive, medical, energy and general industrial applications.
CNC Milling Quality & Inspection
Each 316 Stainless Steel part is inspected against your drawing, with critical dimensions verified before release. Material certificates and inspection records are available on request.
Machining 316 Stainless Steel with CNC Milling
When machining 316 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.
