Aerospace Stainless Steel Precision Machining
Aerospace stainless steels including 15-5PH, 17-4PH, and 300-series provide corrosion resistance and strength for fasteners, fittings, and corrosion-critical components. Machining requires attention to work hardening and proper heat treatment.
Why Aerospace Requires Stainless Steel Aerospace Machining
- ✓Corrosion resistance for external components
- ✓Strength and hardness for fasteners
- ✓Cryogenic properties for space applications
- ✓FDA/biocompatibility for human-rated systems
- ✓Magnetic properties for specific applications
Typical Applications
Materials Commonly Machined
Technical Considerations
- •Sharp tooling essential to prevent work hardening
- •Adequate depth of cut - no light passes
- •Rigid setups minimize chatter
- •High-pressure coolant improves tool life
