When Corrosion-Resistant Metals Make Your Part Worse?
Corrosion-resistant metals aren’t always better for CNC parts. After machining thousands of stainless, titanium, and aluminum components, expensive alloys often create more problems than they solve. Corrosion-resistant metals make parts worse when you over-spec for the environment (316L in mild conditions), choose soft alloys for load-bearing applications (316L for bearings), or select materials that gall […]
