2021 10 06 There are many small batches of prototype machining methods, such as CNC machining, simple molds made of silicone, and 3D printing. Look at the needs of customers. For CNC small batch prototype machining, we must first choose a suitable CNC prototype machining factory. There are many professional CNC machining factories in China, but they are not the same in scale. So in the face of many CNC prototyping factories, how do we choose?

2026 02 24 401 stainless steel is a high-strength, cost-effective martensitic grade. Its unique combination of high tensile strength, wear resistance through heat treatment, and excellent thermal stability makes it a preferred choice for demanding automotive and aerospace applications, such as exhaust manifolds, gears, and turbine blades. Thanks to its low nickel content, 401 is significantly more affordable than 304 austenitic stainless steel. Furthermore, its magnetic properties, reliable weldability, and superior machinability in the annealed state ensure minimal industrial limitations. In this guide, we will explore the chemical composition, heat treatment and its mechanical property changes, and cost-efficiency of 401 stainless steel to provide a valuable reference for your engineering and manufacturing needs.
