What parts/materials can be knurled?

CNC lathing parts can be knurled, their materials are mainly metal materials, such as steel, brass, aluminum alloys, but hard plastics also can be knurled. Knurled patterns are visually attractive and easier to grasp than smooth surfaces.

The knurling application that we commonly see is knurled nuts, such as brass nuts, steel nuts and plastic nuts, etc.. These knurled nuts are widely used in automobiles industry, electrical components, electric appliances, medical devices, etc. For nuts over-mould in vacuum casting and injection molding, we often use such knurled nuts.

To meet the requirements for all customers, we are insist on providing one-stop service from prototyping to low volume production on customize projects. To satisfy our customers, we always adhere to the principle of customer-centered and quality first.
