Our Iron CNC Machining Services
At Istar Machining, we offer many ways to shape iron into the parts you need:
5-Axis Milling
Our 5 axis machining service can create the most complex iron parts. The cutting tool moves in five different directions at once, reaching spots that simpler machines can't touch.
CNC Turning
We make perfectly round iron parts with tight tolerances of ±0.001 inches. This is perfect for shafts, pulleys, and other spinning parts.
Precision Grinding
When you need super-smooth iron surfaces, our cylindrical grinding services can make surfaces as smooth as glass.
Technical Details of Our Iron CNC Machining
For engineers and buyers who need specific facts:
Industries We Serve with Iron Parts
Types of Iron We Work With
We work with different kinds of iron to match what you need:
- Gray Iron (ASTM A48): Great for parts that need to soak up vibrations like engine blocks
- Ductile Iron (SAE J434): Super strong for parts that carry heavy loads
- Alloyed Iron: Stands up to heat and rust in tough environments
Iron vs. Other Metals: When to Choose Iron
Metal | When to Choose It | When Iron Is Better |
Iron | For vibration damping, heat resistance | When strength and low cost matter most |
When light weight is crucial | When wear resistance matters more than weight | |
For higher strength needs | When castability and vibration damping are important | |
For electrical conductivity | When magnetic properties are needed |
Surface Finishing Options
We can give your iron parts different finishes:
- Smooth surfaces (Ra 32–125 μin)
- Zinc plating to fight rust
- Powder coating for color and protection
