Materials Available for Turning

From general-purpose metals to high-performance engineering plastics, matched to your part's mechanical and environmental requirements.

Aluminum

60617075

Lightweight with excellent machinability, ideal for prototypes and structural components.

Stainless Steel

304316

Corrosion-resistant and durable, suited to medical, food, and marine applications.

Steel

High strength and wear resistance for structural and mechanical parts.

Brass

Excellent machinability and conductivity, common in fittings and electrical components.

Copper

High electrical and thermal conductivity for connectors and heat-transfer parts.

Titanium

Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and biocompatibility for aerospace and medical parts.

Surface Finishes & Post-Processing

Functional and cosmetic finishing options applied after turning, matched to your part's material and end use.

As-Machined (Standard)

The standard finish directly off the lathe, functional and cost-effective, with visible tool marks.

MetalsPlastics

Bead Blasting

A uniform matte, satin texture achieved by blasting the surface with fine glass or ceramic media.

Metals

Anodizing (Type II & III)

Electrochemical coatings that improve corrosion resistance and wear resistance, with Type III (hardcoat) suited to high-abrasion applications.

Aluminum

Black Oxide

A thin conversion coating that provides mild corrosion resistance with minimal dimensional change.

SteelStainless Steel

Plating

Electroplated finishes for improved corrosion resistance, wear resistance, or conductivity.

Metals

Polishing

Mechanically polished to a smooth, reflective surface for cosmetic or low-friction applications.

CNC Turning vs. CNC Milling

Turning is suited to cylindrical, axially symmetrical parts, while milling is suited to blocky, non-symmetrical parts. BSG helps you choose the right process for your geometry.
