Benefits of CNC Machining in Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel Grades We Work With
If you are preparing to choose stainless steel as the material of your part in CNC machining, you may rest assured that you are choosing a kind of material with plenty of advantageous properties. Due to the versatility of CNC machining, it may be a challenge for engineers to target the exact one suitable for specific projects in the list of materials.
Runsom's team of expert designers would like to face challenges, owing to their decades of engineering experience. The material selection will definitely turn out to be perfect and much easier for your expected results. The following are briefs about the main grades of stainless steel we have experience with:
│Stainless steel 303
This is an austenitic steel variety that can be most easily machined. This stainless steel has great toughness but its resistance to corrosion may be lowered when adding sulfur to it. It’s suitable for high volume production by virtue of its good machinability.
│Stainless steel 304
This type of stainless steel contains 8% nickel, 18% chromium, and a maximum carbon concentration of 0.07%. Its superior properties such as good formability and corrosion resistance can be shown after CNC machining. It is applied to decorate any kitchen, home design, and theme.
│Stainless steel 416
This is a steel grade with the highest machinability. However, it achieves its increased machinability by sacrificing the corrosion resistance, so it is generally easy to be eroded compared to other stainless steel counterparts.
│Stainless steel 17-4PH
This is a precipitation-hardened (PH) steel grade with excellent corrosion resistance and oxidation. It can be hardened up to 44 HRC. The mechanical properties of this steel can be easily enhanced by heat treatment. Applications include gas turbines and chemical processing parts.
│Stainless steel 15-5
This is a precipitation-hardened (PH) metal. Compared to other martensitic grades, it has better transverse properties, strength, and toughness. The low-temperature heat treatment can be used to improve its mechanical properties.

Finishes and Post-Processing Options
We offer a wide variety of surface finishes available for CNC machined stainless steel, including:
As machined
The original state is left after the stainless steel part is machined. 125 Ra or better can be achievable at Runsom. The surface roughness can be further refined via finishing passes. This is the most common surface finishing method for stainless steel.
Powder coating
It can be used to form a rigid surface finish. When it comes to resistance to some array of chemicals like chlorides, it still poses a challenge for stainless steel. Powder coating can properly tackle this problem.
Bead blasting
It is commonly used for cosmetic purposes. A uniform and smooth matte finish is formed by blasting the surface lightly.
Passivation
In the case of stainless steel, we use nitric acid or citric acid in the passivation process to eliminate the free iron present on the surface. A defensive layer of oxide that is less chemically reactive with the air around it to prevent corrosion is formed by this chemical treatment. In turn, when stainless steel gets passivated, it will resist rusting and corrosion. Learn more about Passivation of Stainless Steel Parts.
