CNC Machining Materials Guide
Use this CNC machining materials guide to compare metal and plastic options for custom machined parts. Material choice affects strength, Gewicht, Korrosionsbeständigkeit, Leitfähigkeit, Hitzebeständigkeit, tolerance stability, Oberflächenbeschaffenheit, und Inspektionsanforderungen.
Common CNC Machining Materials Used by JADE-CNC
JADE-CNC manufactures prototype and production parts from commercially available metal CNC machining materials and plastic CNC machining materials, and can also review customer-supplied materials when required. This material guide helps buyers compare CNC material properties, machining behavior, Endwirkung, tolerance stability, and inspection needs before sending an RFQ.
Metall-CNC-Bearbeitung
Metal CNC machined parts are commonly made from aluminum, Edelstahl, Kupfer, Messing, Titan, and alloy steel when strength, Steifigkeit, Leitfähigkeit, Hitzebeständigkeit, Korrosionsbeständigkeit, or dimensional stability is required. JADE-CNC can review aluminum CNC machining, stainless steel machining, copper machining, Titanbearbeitung, alloy machining, and related finishing or inspection requirements according to the drawing.
Superlegierungs-CNC-Bearbeitung
High-temperature and corrosion-resistant alloys may be selected for demanding industrial parts when strength, Hitzebeständigkeit, and inspection requirements justify the machining difficulty. JADE-CNC reviews tooling, Schnittstrategie, and quality requirements before quotation.
Kühlkörper-CNC-Bearbeitung
Heat sink materials and geometry affect thermal performance, machining cost, Oberflächenbeschaffenheit, und Montage. JADE-CNC reviews fins, channels, Ebenheit, Material, and finish requirements before machining heat sink components.
Kovar-Legierung CNC-Bearbeitung
Kovar alloy is used when controlled thermal expansion is important for glass, ceramic, or semiconductor-related assemblies. Drawing requirements, Toleranzkontrolle, and inspection should be reviewed before machining.
CNC-Bearbeitung von Kunststoffen
Engineering plastics such as ABS, Acryl, Polycarbonat, Nylon, SPÄHEN, PTFE, and acetal can be used for plastic machining when lightweight, isolierend, transparent, chemically resistant, or low-friction parts are required. Materialstabilität, moisture absorption, Gratkontrolle, Oberflächenbeschaffenheit, and tolerance behavior should be reviewed early.
CNC-Bearbeitungslösung aus einer Hand
For projects that need machining, Abschluss, Inspektion, und Montageunterstützung, JADE-CNC coordinates the manufacturing workflow so drawings, Materialanforderungen, Oberflächenbeschaffenheit, quality checks, and delivery expectations stay aligned.
Leitfaden zur Materialauswahl für die CNC-Bearbeitung
Material selection affects machining cost, Dimensionsstabilität, Oberflächenbeschaffenheit, Stärke, Gewicht, Korrosionsbeständigkeit, Leitfähigkeit, and final inspection. JADE-CNC can review material options based on the drawing, Teilfunktion, production quantity, Abschlussanforderung, und Anwendungsumgebung.

What JADE-CNC Reviews Before CNC Material Selection
Choosing a CNC machining material is not only about selecting a grade from a list. The right material should match the part function, machining method, tolerance requirement, Oberflächenbeschaffenheit, Anwendungsumgebung, und Inspektionsbedarf.
Material Function
JADE-CNC reviews whether the part needs strength, low weight, Korrosionsbeständigkeit, electrical conductivity, Hitzebeständigkeit, Verschleißfestigkeit, Isolierung, or dimensional stability.
Bearbeitbarkeit
Different metals and plastics affect tool wear, Schnittgeschwindigkeit, Gratkontrolle, surface quality, and machining cost. The machining route should match the material behavior.
Tolerance Stability
Material stress, Wandstärke, Wärmebehandlung, moisture absorption, and part geometry can affect dimensional stability during and after machining.
Surface Finish Compatibility
Eloxieren, Überzug, Passivierung, Polieren, Perlenstrahlen, Malerei, and coating requirements should be checked against the selected material and functional surfaces.
Inspection and Traceability
For projects that need reports or material records, JADE-CNC can coordinate dimensional checks, selected feature inspection, materielle Bestätigung, und Dokumentationspflichten.
Common CNC machining materials include aluminum, Edelstahl, carbon steel, legierter Stahl, Kupfer, Messing, Titan, POM, SPÄHEN, PTFE, PC, ABS, Acryl, Nylon, und andere technische Kunststoffe.
Start from the part function. Stärke, Gewicht, Korrosionsbeständigkeit, Leitfähigkeit, Hitzebeständigkeit, tolerance stability, Oberflächenbeschaffenheit, and inspection requirements should be considered together.
Common aluminum grades include 6061, 7075, 2024, 5052, 6063, and MIC-6 tooling plate. Each grade has different strength, Bearbeitbarkeit, Korrosionsbeständigkeit, und Abschlussverhalten.
Stainless steel is often selected when corrosion resistance, Stärke, Verschleißfestigkeit, or appearance is important. 304 Und 316 are common options for CNC machined stainless steel parts.
Copper and brass are often used when electrical conductivity, Wärmeleitfähigkeit, or stable machining of small turned features is important.
Ja. POM, SPÄHEN, PTFE, PC, ABS, Acryl, Nylon, and other plastics can be CNC machined, but material movement, Gratkontrolle, moisture absorption, and tolerance behavior should be reviewed.
Ja. Material cost, Bearbeitbarkeit, Werkzeugverschleiß, setup difficulty, Endbearbeitungsanforderungen, and inspection needs all affect CNC machining cost.
Ja. Eloxieren, Überzug, Passivierung, Polieren, Perlenstrahlen, Malerei, and coating results depend on material grade, Oberflächenzustand, Geometrie, und Maskierungspflichten.
Customer-supplied materials can be reviewed when material grade, Lagerform, certification needs, Bearbeitungszugabe, and handling requirements are clear.
Please send 3D CAD files, 2D-Zeichnungen, material grade or preferred options, Anwendungsumgebung, Toleranzhinweise, Anforderungen an die Oberflächenbeschaffenheit, Menge, und Inspektionsbedarf.
