How does 304L compare to 303S on the basis of corrosion resistance and machinability? Also experimenting with 316L; but cost concerns and machinability point to 304L. Any help in this manner would be very much appreciated. (303S is what we currently use, but would like to use a metal that...
I'm having difficulty machining 316 on my CNC Mill. I'm using a 1/4", 4 FL, carbide end mill to cut a cavity out of a bar of 316 stainless, and consistantly chip my tool. (so far, it's chipped every time I've used it) I'm used to machining 303S, which seems like butter comparatively. My...
