Custom CNC Machining for Steel

Steel is an alloy of iron and about 1% carbon. Small amounts of other alloying elements such as molybdenum and chromium may be added to improve its properties. Steel offers a good balance between cost and functionality because it is easy to machine and weld. However, it will oxidize over time and therefore requires surface treatments for protection.
