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.

  • Low carbon steel CNC machining metal material — durable, high-precision metal for CNC machined components and industrial applications.

    Low Carbon Steel

    Economical, Machinability

    Low carbon steel (with carbon content not exceeding 0.25%) is one of the most commonly used types of steel in both industry and daily life, thanks to its excellent plasticity, weldability, and low cost. It is widely applied in components such as pistons, screws, and drive shafts. However, due to its limited strength, it usually requires post-treatment.

  • AL7075 aluminum CNC machining metal material — high-strength, lightweight, and durable metal for precision CNC machined components.

    AL7075

    Corrosion Resistance, Strength

    Aluminum 7075 alloy is a high-strength wrought alloy with zinc as its primary alloying element. It exhibits excellent mechanical properties, characterized by outstanding strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. In addition, compared with most aluminum alloys, it demonstrates superior corrosion resistance, which makes it widely used in aerospace and other fields where lightweight structures and comprehensive performance are critically required.
