CNC Steel Alloys
CNC Steel Alloys refers to the steel alloy used for CNC processing, that is, on the basis of carbon steel to add other alloying elements (such as chromium Cr, nickel Ni, molybdenum Mo, vanadium V, manganese Mn, etc.) to improve its strength, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Steel alloys are widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, industrial equipment, medical devices and tool manufacturing.

Feature
The properties of CNC Steel Alloys vary according to the type:
Carbon steel: moderate strength, low price, good processability, but poor corrosion resistance.
Alloy steel: High strength, high toughness, suitable for high load applications.
Stainless steel: Corrosion resistant for food, medical and marine applications.
Tool steel: super hard and wear-resistant, suitable for tools and molds.
Special steel: suitable for extreme environments, such as high temperatures and strong corrosion.

Advantages
Steel alloys are generally stronger than other metals such as aluminum alloys, have good wear resistance, can be heat treated and adjusted properties, and are suitable for high temperatures and extreme environments.
Disadvantages
The high density of steel is not suitable for lightweight applications, processing is difficult, and the material cost is high.
