Metal Application in CNC Custom Fabricators
JADE-CNC is experienced in types of metal manufacturing, we aim to deliver the machining precision, quality and reliability as you expect. Our common metal materials include aluminum, steel and copper to tailor custom solutions that fully support your projects.
Metal Fabrication Materials
Aluminum
- Characteristics: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, excellent machinability (fast cutting speed), good thermal and electrical conductivity.
- Advantages: Best balance of "strength-weight-machinability", high production efficiency, easy to apply surface treatments like anodizing.
- Common Grades: 6061-T6 (most versatile), 7075-T6 (high strength), 2024 (high fatigue strength), 5083 (high corrosion resistance).
- LT: 3 days in commonstock.
Edelstahl
- Characteristics: Excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and hardness, good aesthetics and hygiene.
- Advantages: Long service life and low maintenance in harsh environments and food/medical applications, combining functionality with appearance.
- Grades: 304/316 (general corrosion resistance), 303 (free-machining, superior machinability), 17-4PH (precipitation hardening, high strength).
- LT: 3 days in commonstock.
Titanium Alloy
- Characteristics: Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, outstanding corrosion resistance, biocompatibility.
- Advantages: Irreplaceable for mission-critical applications requiring extreme weight reduction, resistance to extreme corrosion, or for human implants.
- Grades: Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5)(the "workhorse" aerospace alloy), Gr.2 (commercially pure titanium, corrosion resistant), Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23, medical implant grade).
- LT: 7 Tage,special specifications requires several weeks or longer.
Messing
- Characteristics: Best machinability of all metals, cuts like butter, has a natural luster, corrosion-resistant, good electrical conductivity.
- Advantages: Enables very high machining speeds, excellent surface finish, and dimensional precision, goodfor complex, precise parts, with minimal tool wear.
- Common Grades: C36000 (free-cutting brass, the benchmark for machinability), C26000 (cartridge brass, lead-free), C46400 (naval brass, seawater resistant).
- LT: 3days in common stock.
Low-Carbon Steel (Mild Steel)
- Characteristics: High strength, high toughness, good weldability, prone to rusting, high density.
- Advantages: Lowest cost, readily available, suitable for high-strength structural parts where weight and corrosion resistance are not critical.
- Grades: 1018/A36 (general structural steel), Q235 (Chinese standard), 1045 (medium carbon, can be heat treated).
- LT: 3 days in commonstock.

FAQ
No MOQ. We really understand the RD phase specialize in supporting projects from a single prototype through to low-volume production. We understand R&D needs and apply the same rigorous process and quality control, whether for one part or one hundred.
Please provide your 3D model (STEP/IGES preferred) and 2D drawings (with critical dimensions, tolerances, material, and finish specified). We will provide a transparent, detailed quotation based on machining time, material, complexity, and post-processing, with no hidden costs.
For parts of standard complexity, our typical CNC machining lead time is 7-15 working days (from confirmed drawings/payment). We offer expedited service with delivery in 1-3 working days, subject to part evaluation and an additional rush fee.
Our standard machining tolerance is ±0.025 mm (±0.001″). For critical features, we can achieve ±0.005 mm (±0.0002″) or better, depending on part geometry and material. We will perform a DFM analysis and confirm all critical tolerances with you upon receiving your drawings.
Yes, it’s part of our standard process. We perform First Article Inspection (FAI) and can provide inspection reports (e.g., dimensional check sheets, CMM data for critical features) upon request. Our full suite of inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, CMM, etc.) ensures every batch meets your specifications.
We stock various aerospace and commercial-grade metals and plastics, such as Aluminum (6061, 7075), Edelstahl (304, 316), Carbon Steel, Messing, SPÄHEN, Delrin, etc. For critical projects, we can provide mill certificates for the raw materials upon request.
Your intellectual property is our top priority. We are glad to sign a legally-binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before any project begins. All digital files are stored on encrypted servers with access strictly limited to the project team.
We are committed to 100% customer satisfaction. If a non-conformance is confirmed to be our manufacturing fault, we will remake or repair the parts at no cost and cover the resulting shipping fees. We ask that you inspect the parts promptly upon receipt and provide a detailed description with photos/video.
We provide various post-processing services, including: Bead blasting, Eloxieren (Type II & III, various colors), Electroless Nickel Plating, Passivierung, Galvanisieren, Powder Coating, and Silk Screening. We can advise based on your functional or aesthetic requirements.
For new clients, our standard terms are “50% deposit to start production, 50% balance before shipment.” We accept international payment methods like Wire Transfer and PayPal. Terms can be discussed for established, long-term partnerships.
