Aluminium vs stainless steel for CNC parts
Choose aluminium (e.g. 6061/7075) for light weight and easier machining; stainless (e.g. 304/316) for strength and corrosion resistance.
Quick compare
- Aluminium: lighter, faster machining, anodizing common
- Stainless: stronger/corrosion resistant, slower machining
FAQ
Aluminium or stainless steel for CNC?
Use aluminium when weight and machinability matter; stainless when corrosion resistance and strength matter more. Zoryra can quote both from CAD.
