Stainless steel CNC machining.
Stainless steel components for corrosion-resistant, washdown, and medical applications. Stocked grades include 304, 316, and 17-4 PH for higher strength applications.
Grades
Grades supported.
| Grade | |
|---|---|
| 304 | Stocked or sourced for qualified stainless steel programs. |
| 316 | Stocked or sourced for qualified stainless steel programs. |
| 17-4 PH | Stocked or sourced for qualified stainless steel programs. |
Considerations
What engineers should know.
304 is the most common general-purpose stainless for indoor and food-contact applications.
316 adds molybdenum for improved chloride and marine corrosion resistance.
17-4 PH is a precipitation-hardening stainless used where higher strength and good corrosion resistance are both required.
Passivation per ASTM A967 coordinated through qualified outside processors when specified.

FAQ
Stainless Steel — FAQs
The questions engineering and procurement teams ask most often before a first quote.
When should I spec 316 over 304?
Choose 316 when components see chloride exposure (marine, certain medical, certain food applications). For general indoor use, 304 is typically sufficient and easier to machine.
Do you provide material certs for stainless?
Yes. Material certifications are available on request for all stocked stainless grades.
