In the processing of stainless steel parts, there are mainly the following difficulties:
1. Stainless steel has high hardness and strength
Stainless steel has high hardness and strength, so appropriate cutting tools and cutting parameters need to be used in the processing of stainless steel. The hardness of stainless steel makes the cutting process more difficult, increasing tool wear and the difficulty of stainless steel processing.
2. Stainless steel has high thermal conductivity
Stainless steel has a relatively high thermal conductivity, which means that more heat is generated during the processing of stainless steel. This may cause the cutting tool and workpiece to overheat, increasing the risk of cutting force and deformation. Therefore, appropriate cooling measures need to be taken, such as using cutting fluid or coolant, to control the temperature and reduce the thermal impact.
3. Stainless steel chip treatment
The chips of stainless steel are usually slender and thread-like, relatively hard, and not easy to handle and remove. This may lead to clogging of cutting tools and cutting areas, affecting processing quality and efficiency. Therefore, appropriate chip handling measures need to be taken, such as using the right coolant and cutting parameters, in order to effectively control and remove chips.
4. Easy weldability of stainless steel
Stainless steel is often used in welding manufacturing, but it also has a relatively high welding difficulty in itself. In the processing of stainless steel parts, if welding operations are required, special attention should be paid to selecting appropriate welding methods, materials and parameters to ensure welding quality and connection strength.
5. Surface Treatment and Decoration
As stainless steel is often used in applications that require high surface quality and decorative properties, the requirements for surface treatment and decoration in the processing of stainless steel parts are also relatively high. This may require additional steps and processes, such as polishing, electroplating, and spraying, to achieve the desired surface quality and appearance effect.
