What is the process flow of CNC machining?

CNC machining is a precise, efficient and automated numerical control technology that is widely used in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and medical fields. Choosing the right processing materials is the key to ensuring the quality and efficiency of CNC machining. The following are commonly used materials for CNC machining:

1. Metal materials

Metal materials are one of the most common materials for CNC machining. Among them, cast iron, steel, copper, aluminum, zinc and other common metal materials are widely used in machinery and industrial manufacturing. These materials have the characteristics of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, good electrical conductivity, etc., and are widely used in the automotive, robotics and aerospace industries.

2. Plastic materials

The plastic materials commonly used in CNC machining are polyamide, polyurethane, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyethylene and so on. These materials have the advantages of lightness, good toughness and good insulation performance, and are widely used in household appliances, medical treatment, packaging and toys.

3. Composite materials

Composite materials are made of two or more materials through a special process, with high strength, high rigidity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics. The composite materials commonly used in CNC machining are glass fiber reinforced plastics, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, ceramic composite materials and so on. These materials are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, medical devices and other fields.

4. Glass material

Glass material is a transparent, colorless or colored, hard texture, fragile inorganic non-metallic material. Commonly used glass materials are quartz glass, sodium calcium glass, borosilicate glass and so on. These materials are commonly used in optical devices, electronic devices, experimental equipment and other fields.

5. Ceramic materials

Ceramic material is a kind of non-metallic, inorganic material, with high temperature, wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance. The commonly used ceramic materials in CNC machining are alumina, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride and so on. These materials are commonly used in electronic, chemical, medical and other fields.

In short, the selection of CNC machining materials needs to be combined with specific application scenarios and requirements, different materials have different characteristics and advantages and disadvantages, choosing the right material is the key to ensure the quality and efficiency of CNC machining.
