Why are stainless steel forgings difficult to machine?

2025-12-27

Why arestainless Steel Forgings considered the 'tough nuts' in the forging industry?
Stainless steel forgings are difficult to process, and the main challenges lie in three areas:
1. Complex alloy composition, high strength and low plasticity at high temperatures, resulting in great resistance to metal flow and a high risk of cracking;
2. Poor thermal conductivity, causing temperature differences during heating and cooling, which directly affects the accuracy of the forgings;
3. High requirements for equipment and molds, as the strong resistance to deformation causes molds to wear easily, requiring special materials and design;
However, Sanming Machinery has mature processes, allowing even the most challenging stainless steel forgings to be handled with precision!
