Raw materials for machining

A variety of materials are used in machining, depending on the needs of the specific application. Some of the most common materials used in machining include:

1. Metals:
   • Aluminum: Lightweight, flexible, corrosion resistant and common in industries such as aviation, automotive and electronics.
   • Steel: Available in a variety of types, including carbon steel, stainless steel (inox), and specialty steels. Common in the automotive, construction, and toolmaking industries.
   • Titanium: An extremely strong, lightweight and durable material, widely used in the aviation and medical industries.
   • Copper and iron: Copper is mainly used in the electrical industry, and iron in machining for mechanical parts.
   • Alloys: Materials with enhanced properties, such as bronze and palladium alloys, are used in various industries.
2. Plastic:
   • PVC (polyvinyl chloride): A strong plastic material commonly used in machining for pipes, furniture parts, and more.
   • Acrylic (polymer): Used for transparent and lightweight parts.
   • Nylon (PA): A strong and flexible plastic material, common in the machine and electronics industries.
   • POM (Polyoxymethylene): Strong and durable plastic, used for precision mechanical components.
3. Composite materials:
   • Materials that are composed of several different components, such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, and thermoplastic materials. These materials are incorporated into aviation, medical, and other sensitive industries due to their high durability and lightness.
4. Additional materials:
