Alloy steel CNC machining
High strength and toughness, fatigue resistant. Alloy steels contain other alloying elements in addition to carbon, resulting in improved hardness, toughness, fatigue and wear resistance.
| Advantage | shortcoming |
| 1. Alloy steels are known for their high strength and durability | 1.Alloy steels can be more expensive than non-alloy steels, leading to higher production costs for CNC machined parts. |
| 2. Alloy steels come in a variety of compositions, allowing for customization based on specific needs | |
| 3. excellent corrosion resistance | 2.Some alloy steels can be challenging to machine due to their hardness, which may increase tool wear and machining time. |
| 4. can maintain their mechanical properties at high temperatures | |
| 3.Alloy steels, especially those with high strength, can be denser than other materials, potentially adding to the weight of the final product. | |

| 1045, 4140, and 4340 | They offer good strength and machinability and are often used in applications where hardness and toughness are required. |
| 4130 and 4340 | known for their high strength and are used in applications requiring resistance to heat and stress. They are commonly used in the aerospace and oil and gas industries. |
| Maraging steel 300 and 350 | Maraging steels are a group of high-strength, low-alloy steels, usually containing nickel as the main alloying element. They are known for their excellent strength and toughness. Maraging steel 300 and 350 are examples used in CNC machining. |
| 41CrAlMo7 and 31CrMoV9. | Steels designed for nitriding, a surface hardening process, include materials like 41CrAlMo7 and 31CrMoV9. Nitriding enhances surface hardness and wear resistance. |
| Bearing Steels（52100） | Steels designed for bearing applications, are alloyed to provide excellent hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength. |
| Creep-Resistant Alloys（ P91 and P92） | used in high-temperature applications, such as power generation plants. They are designed to resist creep deformation at elevated temperatures. |
| Spring Steels（ 1095 and 5160） | used in the manufacture of springs due to their high yield strength and elasticity. |
