VT machining offers CNC Swiss Machining for 416 Stainless Steel (UNS S41600 / 1.4005), typically supplied annealed or hardened. Free-machining martensitic grade; highest machinability of all stainless steels.
CNC Swiss Machining Notes for 416 Stainless Steel
416 Stainless Steel is well suited to Swiss-type turning for small, long parts in volume, with short cycle times from bar.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 416 Stainless Steel weighs about 0.78 kg.
