Material: Ductile (Nodular) Cast Iron, Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron Process: Shell Casting + CNC Machining Weight: 5.50 kg Application: Railroad Freight Car
China CNC machining of ductile cast iron (nodular cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron) for spare parts of railroad freight car. 3.1 material certificate is available.
CNC machining refers to the machining process proceed by Computerized Numberical Control (CNC for short). It is aided by the CNC to reach a high and steady accuracy with less labor cost. Machining is any of various processes in which a piece of raw material is cut into a desired final shape and size by a controlled material-removal process. The processes that have this common theme, controlled material removal, are today collectively known as subtractive manufacturing, in distinction from processes of controlled material addition, which are known as additive manufacturing.

Exactly what the “controlled” part of the definition implies can vary, but it almost always implies the use of machine tools (in addition to just power tools and hand tools). This is a process used to manufacture many metal products, but it can also be used on materials such as wood, plastic, ceramic, and composites. The CNC machining covers many different processes such as milling, turning, lathing, drilling, honing, grinding...etc.
