How to improve the surface finish of stainless steel precision parts during machining?
Improving the surface finish of stainless steel precision parts is influenced by many factors, including the lathe, material, and cutting tools. General machine tools can achieve Ra 1.6, while high-speed precision machine tools for machining aluminum can reach Ra 0.2. The surface finish of parts with patterns will be compromised. The main challenge lies in handling wrinkles on the parts, which can be caused by numerous factors. For long shafts, the tailstock might have insufficient force or be moving. If the tailstock is not the issue, tool wear, machining parameters, and cutting fluid are also factors. Furthermore, the material of the stainless steel precision parts necessitates the selection of appropriate cutting tools.
