If you’re designing a part that will be formed, bent, or deep-drawn before or after machining — and it doesn’t need 6061-level strength — 3003-H14 is usually the right starting point. Its ~1.2% manganese addition gives it roughly 10–20% more strength than 1100 commercially pure aluminum without s…
China’s NDRC energy-conservation mandate (July 2026) tightens steel supply for CNC machining. Buyers should audit mill sources, review CBAM exposure, and lock in H2 pricing. Analysis with worldsteel data.
If your CNC-turned part needs higher strength than 6061-T6 and you cannot justify 7075, look at 2017-T4. EN AW-2017A bridges ~390 MPa UTS with good machinability.
20 steel is a high-quality carbon structural steel under the GB/T 699-2015 standard, with a carbon content of approximately 0.20%, classified as low-carbon steel. It offers moderate strength, excel
20Cr is one of the most widely used low-alloy carburizing steels in China, conforming to the national standard GB/T 3077-2015 “Alloy Structure Steels”. It is a low-carbon chromium series alloy stru
