CNC machining plays a key role in the production of durable and precise components for the oil and gas industry. The components must be able to withstand extreme temperatures, high pressures and aggressive chemical environments – typically in drilling equipment, piping systems and refinery plants. Here, strength, corrosion resistance and tight tolerances are crucial for reliability and service life.
The oil and gas industry requires machining of advanced materials such as high-strength steel, titanium, and corrosion-resistant alloys such as Inconel and duplex steel. CNC machining enables precise fabrication of components that must operate in high-pressure environments and withstand chemical stress, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress.
Materials
Stainless steels such as 316L and 904L are widely used in the oil and gas industry due to their high corrosion resistance, especially in contact with salts, acids, and seawater. These steel grades are ideal for piping systems, fittings and pressure components where longevity and reliability are essential. CNC Denmark provides precision machining of stainless steel with full traceability and documentation.
High-strength steel is used for components that are subjected to mechanical stresses and high pressures – such as fittings, structural elements and drilling equipment. The material combines high tensile strength with good machinability, making it particularly suitable for CNC turning and milling in oil and gas projects where strength and safety cannot be compromised.
Titanium is light, strong and highly resistant to corrosion – even in harsh chemical environments. It is often used in the oil and gas sector for valves, pumps, flanges and sensor protection, where weight optimisation and durability are important factors. CNC Denmark has experience with precise CNC machining of titanium for high-precision components.
