What consideration should be given in material selection for machined parts?
There are many grades of material specifically designed for improved machinability. Often specifying one of these grades, though a more expensive material, can result in a lower costs and higher quality in the end product. Naturally, full consideration must be given to your product’s total application. Material designed for optimum machinability often offers less weldability or less formability. See our Material Comparison Chart for more information on this topic.
