Machined stainless steel: corrosion resistance and workshop demands

Machined stainless steel suits damp, aggressive or hygiene-sensitive environments. 304L and 316L grades dominate industrial specifications.

CNC machining of stainless steel requires controlled parameters (speed, tooling, coolant) to limit work hardening and ensure dimensional conformity.

Lusinage produces flanges, shafts, fittings, brackets and machined stainless steel process parts, with inspection of critical zones and grade advice according to the operating environment.

Material strengths

Advantages of stainless steel in machined manufacturing

Excellent corrosion resistance

Suited to damp and chemical environments and to certain food or pharma applications.

Stainless steel machining: FAQ

304L or 316L for my application?

316L resists chlorides and aggressive environments better; 304L suits many general industrial uses. Describe the environment on the quote.

Is stainless steel difficult to machine?

It work-hardens if the parameters are unsuitable. Our partner workshops apply CNC strategies suited to austenitic grades.

Do you machine stainless steel for the food industry?

Yes, notably 316L for technical parts; customer specification (roughness, contact areas) is respected.

Passivation or treatment after machining?

Possible depending on the project; state the standard or customer requirement when requesting the quote.

What surface finish on machined stainless steel?

From standard machined finishes to finer finishes on bearing and sealing surfaces, per drawing.

What lead times for a stainless steel part?

Comparable to steel for similar geometries; grade and material availability confirmed on the quote.

Accepted files for a stainless steel quote?

STEP, dimensioned PDF, with the stainless grade and quantity clearly stated.

Stainless steel spare part without a drawing?

Measurement from a sample is possible: modeling then machining after validation.

Stainless steel vs brass for a fitting?

Stainless steel for corrosion and pressure; brass for machinability and connectors; we advise according to fluid and standard.

Dimensional inspection on stainless steel parts?

Inspection according to how critical the dimensions are; report or inspection certificate possible if included in the specification.
