Comparison of CNC Machining Materials

Titanium alloys are high-performance materials that combine exceptional strength, a superior strength-to-weight ratio, outstanding corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and excellent biocompatibility. While costlier and more difficult to process than steels or aluminum alloys, their unique advantages—high strength, light weight, and durability in extreme environments—make them indispensable in aerospace, advanced medical, and deep-sea applications, where performance takes priority over cost.

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.
