Materials Suitable For Custom Fasteners CNC Machining
We have been focusing on the field of Custom Fasteners for over 20 years and have rich production and processing experience. The commonly used materials for Custom Fasteners can be selected based on their required mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, cost, and other factors. Here are some common Custom Fasteners materials and their characteristics:
Stainless Steel
Features:
Strong corrosion resistance: Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of most chemicals.
Good mechanical performance: Stainless steel has high strength and hardness, suitable for fasteners that need to withstand certain loads.
High temperature resistance: able to maintain good performance in high temperature environments.
Common models:
304 stainless steel: With good corrosion resistance and processing performance, it is widely used in various fasteners.
316 stainless steel: performs better in corrosive environments such as seawater and is commonly used for high-end fasteners.
Carbon Steel
Features:
High strength: Carbon steel has high strength and hardness, making it suitable for fasteners that need to withstand large loads.
Low cost: Compared to other metal materials, carbon steel has a lower cost.
Common models:
Low carbon steel: easy to process and weld, commonly used for ordinary fasteners.
Medium carbon steel and high carbon steel: have higher strength and hardness, suitable for fasteners that need to withstand higher loads.
Aluminum Alloy
Features:
Low density: Aluminum alloy has a much lower density than steel, making it suitable for fasteners that require weight reduction.
Good thermal conductivity: suitable for fasteners that require good heat dissipation performance.
Easy to process: Aluminum alloy is easy to cut in CNC machining.
Common models:
6061 aluminum alloy: It has good strength and processing performance and is widely used in various fasteners.
The commonly used materials for machining Custom Fasteners include:
Alloy steel, such as 4140, 8620, etc., has high strength and toughness and is commonly used in fasteners that can withstand heavy loads.
For connecting parts of large machinery, high-strength customized bolts made of alloy steel may be used.
Titanium alloy: With high strength, low density, and good corrosion resistance, it is suitable for special applications that require high weight and strength.
Copper alloys, such as brass and bronze, have good conductivity and thermal conductivity, and are used in some electrical or occasions that require good conductivity.
Some custom connectors in electronic devices may be fasteners made of copper alloy.
