HM Steel Machining Parts
One of the materials that are most frequently used in CNC machining is steel. Iron is the primary component of steel. Steel can be combined with other elements (elements such as chromium, nickel, copper, and more) in different amounts to produce different types of steel. Alloying elements are added to acquire unique characteristics such as extreme temperature stability, corrosion resistance, hardness, etc. There are more than 1000 varieties of steel compositions. However, they are divided into 4 main types such as carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and tool steel.
HM offers steel parts manufactured in accordance with your requirements. We can provide milling, turning, and other machining services using our high-precision and advanced CNC machines.

Guide for Machining Steel Materials
| Steel Alloys | Characteristics | Applications |
| 1008 | Suitable for low-stress applications and have a moderate strength | They have a matte surface finish which makes them ideal for fabricating exposed parts |
| 1018 | Low carbon steel that has good weldability and formability | Rivets and components that need strong welds |
| 1045 | High tensile strength and impact resistance | Suitable for heat treatment |
| 1137 | Higher carbon, direct hardening, and higher strength | Used for higher stress applications such as shafts, gears, studs, and more |
| 11L37 | Good machinability and strength | Can be tempered, annealed, heat treated, and quenched easily |
| 11L41 | Strength and more even surface hardness | Pins, bolts, shafts, axles, and more |
| 12L14 | Excellent machinability | Commercial products |
| 1215 | Good machinability | Parts that need better weldability and formability than 12L14 |
| 4130 | Fatigue resistance, toughness, and strength | Commercial aircraft and military parts |
| 4142 or 4140 | A common general-purpose alloy | Nuts, pins, shafts, nuts, bolts, gears, valve, and pump components |
| 41L40 | Better machining with lead additive | Bolts, couplings, tooling, and shafts |
| 8620 | Case hardening, heat-treatable, and has .20% Mo, .50% Cr, and .55% Ni | Gears, bushings, bolts, shafts, and pins |
| 52100 | Very high 1% carbon, .08% Mo, 1.4% Cr, and .25% Ni | Bearing applications |
Steels Suitable for Machining
Carbon steels are easy to machine. They are composed of about 2-3% carbon. After machining carbon steel parts, they will undergo a heat treatment to reduce weathering and corrosion. We can machine different grades of carbon steels such as:
- High: 1080
- Medium: 1040 and 1030
- Low: 1018 and 1010
Alloy steels are made by adding varying amounts of extra elements to the carbon steel. Different kinds of elements can be added such as nickel, manganese, copper, calcium, silicon, and many more. This will result in a steel that has additional physical properties not present in standard carbon steel. Alloy steels have increased corrosion resistance, strength, and hardness. Some of the alloy steel grades we can machine include:
- 4130
- 4340
- 4140
Stainless steels are steels that have up to 10 to 20% chromium added. They are highly resistant to rust and have visual appeal. The stainless steel grades we can machine are:
- 316
- 304
- 303
Tool steels are a class of alloys and carbon steels. There are six different types of tool steels such as shock-resistant, water-hardened, high-speed, air hardened, special purchase, and hot work. We can machine:
- A582
- A286
- A277
303 stainless steel is the easiest to the machine. They are the top choice for machining fasteners, gears, fittings, and other applications that need tight tolerances.
High carbon steel is hard to machine since they have high carbon content that makes them extremely strong. They are also one of the least ductile and hardest steels.
