CNC MACHINES AND MATERIALS DETAILS
CNC machines are capable of working with a wide variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
However, certain materials may present more challenges than others when it comes to CNC machining. Some examples of materials that can be difficult to work with on a CNC machine are discussed below.
It is important to note that the difficulty of machining a material also depends on the application, the type of machine and the machining process used.
CNC MACHINES AND MATERIALS DETAILS
- Hardened steels: These materials are extremely hard and difficult to cut, and may require specialized cutting tools and high-pressure coolant systems to machine effectively.
- Titanium: This material is known for its strength, but it can be difficult to machine due to its poor thermal conductivity and tendency to work-harden.
- Inconel and other high-temperature alloys: These materials are often used in high-temperature applications and are resistant to corrosion and heat. They are difficult to machine due to their high strength and toughness, and may require specialized cutting tools and cooling systems.
- Carbon fiber composites: These materials are lightweight and strong, but they can be difficult to machine due to their fibrous nature. They can produce a lot of dust and debris, which can clog cutting tools and cause damage to machine components.
- Glass and ceramics: These materials are brittle and can be difficult to machine without cracking or breaking. They require specialized cutting tools and cutting conditions to prevent chipping or breaking.
