China Carbon Steel CNC Machining

Carbon steel CNC machining is common in automotive, aerospace, energy, and machinery industries. Yonglihao Machinery has provided high-quality, precise carbon steel CNC machining services for many years. We can meet the diversified needs from small-batch production to large-scale manufacturing. Relying on our factory manufacturing capabilities, we can tailor-make machining solutions for each project to ensure that parts meet strict quality standards.

Carbon steel CNC machining involves a variety of traditional and advanced machining methods to meet the needs of different components. Common machining methods include:

5 Axis CNC Machining Services

CNC Turning Services

CNC Milling Service

However, machinists often encounter challenges with surface finish and accuracy control in carbon steel machining, especially with high hardness materials. We address these issues by optimising cutting strategies, judicious tool selection and the use of highly efficient coolants. This reduces friction and heat build-up and ensures that parts have a clean surface and meet stringent dimensional requirements.

Properties and Advantages of Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is a common metal alloy used in many industries that require strength and wear resistance. Compared to other metals, carbon steel offers good wear resistance, strength and relatively low manufacturing costs.

High wear resistance: Carbon steel is extremely wear-resistant and is suitable for highly loaded components.

Ease of machining: Compared to harder materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel is easier to machine, reducing manufacturing costs.

High strength: Provides stronger mechanical properties than lighter metals such as aluminium, making it suitable for the manufacture of high-strength structural components.

Cost-effective: Many industries widely use low and medium-carbon steels due to their low production costs and easy availability of raw materials.

Common Carbon Steel Grades and Applications

Different types of carbon steel vary in their properties and understanding their technical parameters helps in selecting the right material. Below are the technical data of common carbon steel types:

Carbon Steel Type	Hardness (HB)	Tensile Strength (MPa)	Elongation (%)	Density (Density (g/cm³))
Low Carbon Steel (A36)	120-180	400-550	20-30	7.85
Medium Carbon Steel (1045)	170-200	600-850	14-20	7.85
High Carbon Steel (4140)	200-300	800-1000	10-15	7.85
Alloy Steel (4140 Alloy)	250-300	900-1200	8-12	7.85

Mild steel (e.g. A36): Mild steel has low hardness and tensile strength, but it is very malleable and weldable. It is suitable for use as a structural material, e.g. for supporting frames in buildings and bridges.

Medium carbon steel (e.g. 1045): Medium carbon steel has higher hardness and tensile strength and is suitable for components that require higher strength and toughness. Examples include machine parts, drive shafts and gears.

High Carbon Steels (e.g. 4140): High carbon steels have high hardness and tensile strength and are often used to make wear-resistant components. Examples include knives, springs and heavy mechanical components.

Alloy steels (e.g. 4140 alloy steel): alloy steels have superior strength and wear resistance to ordinary carbon steels. They are suitable for industrial parts requiring high strength and wear resistance, such as aviation parts, automotive engine parts, etc.
