Steel In CNC Machining
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, often with small amounts of molybdenum and chromium to improve its properties. Known for its strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, steel is widely used in CNC machining across industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction. However, it may oxidize over time and requires surface treatments for protection.
