Comparison of CNC Machining Materials
The information contained herein is typical values intended for reference and comparison only. They shall NOT be used as a basis for design specifications or quality control.
Stainless Steel 304
Corrosion Resistant, Economical, Machinability
stainless steel 304 is also known as 18/8 stainless steel, which contains approximately 18% chromium (Cr) and 8% nickel (Ni). It not only possesses excellent oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, but also has good workability and surface quality. Currently, it is the most widely used stainless steel grade in industrial manufacturing and civil applications.
Brass C260
CorrosionResistant, Machinability
Brass is an alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc. This golden-hued material not only exhibits excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance, but its tensile strength also rivals that of low-carbon steel, demonstrating outstanding mechanical properties. Brass boasts exceptional machinability, enabling it to support higher feed rates during processing operations such as cutting and stamping, while requiring minimal cutting fluid. This combination significantly reduces both processing costs and process complexity.
