Stainless Steel Alloys
Stainless steel alloys, renowned for their exceptional corrosion resistance, durability, and versatile mechanical properties, are vital across numerous industries. At Toolcraft, we specialize in these materials, possessing a deep understanding of all stainless steel grades, from austenitic 300 series to martensitic, ferritic, duplex, and precipitation-hardening varieties. We fully grasp the complex challenges of machining stainless steel, including its propensity for work hardening, difficult chip formation, poor thermal conductivity, and galling.
Leveraging 60 years of experience, our manufacturing team, including highly experienced machinists, has mastered these complexities. Decades of practical knowledge and technical expertise combined with advanced CNC technology and specialized tooling give us a competitive advantage that results in higher quality components at a competitive cost.
We understand the unique machining requirements of each stainless steel alloy and tailor our processes to their specific properties. Our rigorous process control ensures repeatable precision and quality. Whether it is a casting, forging or bar stock, we optimize our production processes based on the alloy and form, with meticulous attention to the stability of the alloy, its heat treatment condition, level of accuracy, and surface finish requirements. Our tailored CNC machining stainless steel processes enable us to produce state-of-the-art components for our customers.
