CNC Turning and Drilling with Black Oxide Finishing for 1060 Steel Industrial Tools
CNC Machining of Industrial Tools: Strength and Surface Protection for Demanding Applications
Industrial tools require high strength, dimensional precision, and surface durability to withstand impact, wear, and corrosive operating environments. For high-load applications such as cutting tools, jigs, adapters, or mechanical interfaces, 1060 medium-carbon steel delivers excellent mechanical performance with cost-efficiency. At Neway, we provide CNC turning and CNC drilling of 1060 steel tools for industrial equipment applications, supported by black oxide finishing to enhance corrosion resistance and appearance.
Why 1060 Steel Is Used for Industrial Tool Components
Medium-Carbon Strength and Impact Resistance
1060 steel provides high tensile strength (~850 MPa after heat treatment), excellent toughness, and a balanced response to machining and thermal hardening. It is ideal for tools exposed to shock, pressure, and friction under industrial operating conditions.
Good Machinability with Dimensional Stability
With careful toolpath design and chip evacuation, 1060 steel machines cleanly in both turning and drilling operations. It maintains shape accuracy in cylindrical and axial profiles, supporting tolerances of ±0.01–0.02 mm on critical surfaces.
CNC Turning and Drilling Process for 1060 Tooling
CNC Turning for Axial Features and Bearing Interfaces
Using high-precision lathes, we machine tool bodies, shaft sections, tapered transitions, and thread zones. Turning parameters:
OD tolerance: ±0.01 mm
Surface finish: Ra ≤ 1.6 µm (pre-treatment)
Concentricity across functional features: ≤ 0.02 mm
CNC Drilling for Mounting, Indexing, and Fluid Pathways
CNC drilling operations are used to add holes for fasteners, indexing pins, or internal cooling:
Hole tolerance: ±0.02 mm
Depth control accuracy: ≤ 0.05 mm
Deburred and chamfered for assembly readiness
These operations support complex tool geometries while preserving alignment integrity.
Surface Treatment: Black Oxide Coating
Black Oxide for Corrosion Resistance and Anti-Glare Finish
We apply black oxide coating to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection. It offers:
Uniform black finish without altering dimensions
Improved wear resistance in oiled or dry environments
Ideal surface for branding, part marking, and safe handling
Typical coating thickness: <1 µm, ensuring no interference with tight tolerances.
Quality Control and Tooling Certification
CMM and micrometer inspection of shaft diameters and runout
Surface inspection after black oxide treatment for uniformity
Hardness and mechanical strength testing (optional)
Documentation: COC, material certificates, finish compliance reports
