CNC Wire EDM 904L Stainless Steel

CNC Wire EDM 904L Stainless Steel from VT machining delivers precision 904L Stainless Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Wire EDM cuts conductive metal with a charged wire, achieving fine detail and tight tolerance with no cutting force, with parameters tuned to 904L Stainless Steel, which is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic.

CNC Wire EDM Capability for 904L Stainless Steel

• Austenitic/martensitic grades
• Corrosion resistant
• Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
• Typical hardness 70–200 HB (annealed)

Machining 904L Stainless Steel with CNC Wire EDM

904L Stainless Steel behaves predictably under CNC Wire EDM once parameters are dialled in: machinability is moderate; work-hardens, so positive-rake tooling and steady feeds are used to avoid glazing, and we tune the operation accordingly.

We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of 904L Stainless Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.

Secondary Operations & Finishing

Finished 904L Stainless Steel parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.

CNC Wire EDM Tolerances & Surface Finish

EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 904L Stainless Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.

Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.

CNC Wire EDM Quality & Inspection

We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every 904L Stainless Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.

Design Tips for CNC Wire EDM 904L Stainless Steel

We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 904L 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.

Why 904L Stainless Steel?

904L Stainless Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.

Applications of CNC Wire EDM 904L Stainless Steel

Customers order CNC Wire EDM 904L Stainless Steel components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.
