The quality and precision of the finished part is closely related to many elements, and the material is one of them. Steel is widely used in precision machining, and there are many types.

Carbon steel: Carbon steel is also called carbon steel, which is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 2%. In addition to carbon, carbon steel generally contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur and phosphorus. The higher the carbon content, the greater the hardness and the higher the strength, but the lower the plasticity.

Carbon tool steel is a high-carbon steel that basically does not contain alloying elements, and the carbon content is in the range of 0.6 5%-1.3 5%. Its production cost is low, the source of raw materials is easy to obtain, the machinability is good, and high hardness and high wear resistance can be obtained after heat treatment, so it is a widely used steel type to manufacture various cutting tool molds and tools.

Structural steel is the most widely used material for precision machining, and is mainly used to manufacture important parts such as shafts, gears, springs and couplings of various precision machinery and precision instruments. There are higher requirements on the strength, hardness, plasticity and impact toughness of steel. Compared with carbon steel, alloy structural steel has better hardenability. The larger the size and the more complex the shape of the part, the more important this advantage of alloy steel becomes.
