ASTM A312/A312M Type 309HCb Material Machining Technology

Machining of ASTM A312/A312M Type 309HCb steel is a highly complex process, but it is essential for producing items such as pipes and tubing. This special type of steel is an austenitic stainless steel, meaning it has a high level of corrosion and heat resistance due to its chromium content. Machining this type of steel requires precise control and a great deal of skill. As a result, it is only suitable for experienced machinists who understand the characteristics of this material and its machinability.
