Iron

CNC 

Commercially pure iron offers excellent machinability, magnetic properties, and ductility. Ideal for magnetic, scientific, or precision parts requiring minimal alloy content.

About

Commercially pure iron (often >99.5% Fe) is a soft, ductile, and magnetic metal with excellent machinability and high thermal and electrical conductivity. It is valued for its consistent magnetic properties, low carbon content, and excellent plastic deformation behavior. While not as strong as steel, pure iron offers outstanding workability, is easy to form or cut, and is frequently used in magnetic cores, scientific components, or where minimal alloying elements are required. It is prone to oxidation if not surface-treated.
