Our Diverse Material Experience
Modern Industries possesses extensive experience machining the following materials:
ALUMINUM
Aluminum is among the most widely used CNC milling materials in the world. It can be machined quickly and accurately thanks to its lightweight and non-magnetic properties. Additionally, aluminum is inherently corrosion-resistant and a relatively inexpensive material for machining across countless industries. These beneficial factors make aluminum the leading choice for aircraft components in addition to the automotive and consumer goods industries.
- 2024 aluminum
- 6061 aluminum
- 7075 aluminum
- Aluminum bronze

STEEL
The strength and durability of steel make it ideal for high-stress applications especially when high-carbon steel variants are utilized. For projects that require enhanced formability and weldability, similar to the demands for rivets and strong part welds, low-carbon steel would be the ideal choice. Whatever your steel machining needs are, our machine shop has experience working with a wide range of steel materials, especially in turned products.
- 1018 steel
- 1045 steel
- 1144 steel
- 4140 steel
- 4320 steel
- 4340 steel
- 4617 steel
- 8620 steel
- 8822 steel
- 9310 steel
- A36 steel
- 52100 steel
- M50 steel
- Tool Steels: H13, S7, D2, O1, A2, M2
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is most widely known for being impervious to rust and most stains, but our machining services help customers take advantage of its strength and corrosion resistance too. These properties make it prevalent in the electronics and medical equipment industries. Modern Industries has extensive experience in a considerable range of stainless steel materials for machining including the variants listed below:
- 15-5 PH stainless steel
- 17-4 PH stainless steel
- 302 stainless steel
- 303 stainless steel
