CNC Surface Grinding S136 Mold Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. S136 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, and we combine controlled grinding with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Surface Grinding Capability for S136 Mold Steel
- Mold-grade cleanliness
- Polishable to mirror finish
- Hardenable to 48–54 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining S136 Mold Steel with CNC Surface Grinding
When grinding S136 Mold Steel, machinability is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for S136 Mold Steel mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Why S136 Mold Steel?
Customers select S136 Mold Steel for CNC Surface Grinding because it is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
CNC Surface Grinding Tolerances & Surface Finish
Ground S136 Mold Steel reaches single-micron tolerances on size, flatness and parallelism, with surface finishes down to Ra 0.1–0.4 µm — and a near-mirror finish on suitable alloys.
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.
Design Tips for CNC Surface Grinding S136 Mold Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Allowing adequate grind stock, specifying realistic flatness over the true datum, and relieving corners help us hit tight tolerances on S136 Mold Steel efficiently. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most S136 Mold 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 Surface Grinding 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.
Applications of CNC Surface Grinding S136 Mold Steel
S136 Mold Steel parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.
