Potomac Photonics specializes in machining highly precise and extremely small features across all types and thicknesses of stainless-steel materials.
Stainless steels are defined as iron-based alloys that contain at least 10.5% chromium. The thin but dense chromium oxide film which forms on the surface of a stainless steel provides corrosion resistance and prevents further oxidation. There are five types of stainless steel that will differ depending on the other alloying additions being present, and they range from fully austenitic to fully ferritic.
Applications include:
- Laser microcutting of stainless steel
- Laser hole drilling in stainless steel
- Welding of stainless-steel components
- Stainless steel CNC machining
The choice of machining technology for fabricating stainless-steel parts is influenced by several factors, with part thickness, feature size requirements, and cut quality being the primary considerations in selecting the most suitable method. Our Engineering Team works closely with our clients to carefully understand their requirements so that the best manufacturing solution is chosen for the job.
