The milling of AISI 4140 Steel, consists of cutting the material by using a rotary tool of several edges of carbide, which executes advance movements that have been previously programmed.
In Sumiparts SAS, we offer the service of Milling of AISI 4140 using system CNC (Computer Numerical Control), which allows us to make cuts and designs in almost any direction, since the machine has three axes, being able to make machining more complex and accurate.
The metal milling process is performed by an operator of a CNC milling machine and consists of four steps: The first is to program the computer from the interface using manual programming software CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), or automatic programming CAD (Computer-Aided Design).
It is done by inserting a series of numbers and letters after having made the appropriate calculations.
Once programmed, the material to be worked and the necessary cutter are placed depending on the type of cut to be made. The next step is to start the milling process for precision machining through the interface. Finally, the quality of the finishes is reviewed.
Finishes achieved with the Milling of AISI 4140 Steel
With the computer numerical control milling machine, or CNC, and with its various types of milling, all kinds of finishes are achieved in the machining process.
– Cutting milling, is the most basic because it is the first to be used to adapt the material to the needs of the job.
– Planned, to flatten the surface.
– Square, used to make a stepped surface.
– Cubic, to create cubic shaped pieces.
– Straight grooving, creates linear grooves.
– Shape grooving, to make T-shaped grooves.
– Keyway grooving, a type of asymmetric trapezoidal groove.
– Lathe-milling, to make holes and an external milling when surrounding the piece. Depending on the type of milling, a different milling cutter is used
In the specific case of AISI 4140 Steel, as it is an alloyed carbon steel, which is widely used in the manufacture of medium and small section parts, high fatigue and torsion efforts are required, which is why the use of CNC machining becomes more indispensable and must be much more judicious.
For the milling of AISI 4140 Steel, it must be taken into account that there is a wide variety on the market, with different surface finishes: cold drawn, hot rolled, peeled, pre-machined , smooth forging, rough, etc.Depending on these different categories, there is the possibility of giving them a heat treatment.
The applications of products developed under this process, range from parts for the automotive industry, parts for machinery, forged parts, parts for the oil industry, high strength fasteners, among others.
The Steel Milling process of Sumiparts SAS, allows to create custom parts and products, and with our system the productivity, quality and accuracy of the procedures carried out are considerably increased.
