Stainless steel

Stainless steel  bar turning

Stainless steel is the material of choice for applications requiring corrosion resistance, durability, and hygiene. At Monnet Décolletage, we have mastered the machining of various stainless steel grades to meet the most demanding technical and environmental constraints.

Our machining capacity

Depending on their composition, stainless steels exhibit varying machining behaviors, often more complex than standard steels.

Whether working with austenitic, ferritic, or martensitic stainless steels, we adapt our processes to guarantee dimensional precision, surface quality, and part repeatability. Stainless steel is particularly suited for harsh environments and sectors where reliability allows no compromise. Thanks to our expertise and high-performance production tools, we support our customers in choosing the most appropriate grade, balancing functional requirements, machining constraints, and associated costs.
