Aluminum vs Titanium vs Stainless Steel: CNC Material Selection Guide

Featured image for CNC machining material selection article, comparing mechanical performance, machinability, weight and cost of aluminum alloy, titanium alloy and stainless steel for custom precision machined components.

Material selection has more impact on part performance, cost, and lead time than almost any other decision in the design process. Choosing between aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel involves balancing mechanical properties with CNC machining costs. This CNC material selection guide provides a practical comparison of three common materials used in precision manufacturing. Aluminum Alloys: […]
