不銹鋼之所以能得到廣泛的應用，其可加工性能起著不可估量的作用。了解并掌握不銹鋼的加工性能，對不銹鋼的正確、合理選用及加工工藝的制定和執行等無疑是必不可少的。浙江至德鋼業有限公司從材料工藝入手，全面而簡明地介紹工藝性能的含義。

 工(gong)藝性能(neng)是指材料所具有的(de)(de)(de)能(neng)夠適應實際生產工(gong)藝要(yao)求(qiu)的(de)(de)(de)能(neng)力(li)，又稱為(wei)加工(gong)性能(neng)。例如，金(jin)屬的(de)(de)(de)鑄造性、鍛(duan)造性、深沖性、彎曲性、切(qie)削性、焊接性、淬透(tou)性等等。

 加工(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝涉及(ji)(ji)復雜的物理、化學(xue)和力學(xue)變化，材料適應(ying)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝的能力一(yi)定會涉及(ji)(ji)相關的環(huan)境，例如(ru)設備、工(gong)(gong)(gong)具、氣(qi)氛、溫(wen)度、載荷等。同其他性能一(yi)樣，工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝性能也是隨環(huan)境條件而異(yi)的。例如(ru)，金(jin)屬的加工(gong)(gong)(gong)性能會因加工(gong)(gong)(gong)方法的不同而有差別。

 金屬材(cai)料(liao)工(gong)藝(yi)性(xing)(xing)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)包括五大方面：①. 鑄(zhu)造(zao)性(xing)(xing)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)。澆注時，液體能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)充滿鑄(zhu)型并得(de)到優質(zhi)鑄(zhu)件的(de)(de)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)力。②. 鍛造(zao)性(xing)(xing)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)。材(cai)料(liao)進行壓(ya)力加(jia)工(gong)的(de)(de)性(xing)(xing)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)。③. 焊接性(xing)(xing)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)。材(cai)料(liao)進行焊接及保證(zheng)焊縫質(zhi)量(liang)的(de)(de)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)力。④. 切削性(xing)(xing)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)。適應機械加(jia)工(gong)的(de)(de)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)力。⑤. 成型性(xing)(xing)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)。材(cai)料(liao)適應拉、拔、壓(ya)、沖等成型的(de)(de)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)力。另外包括有可鍛性(xing)(xing)、沖切性(xing)(xing)、頂鍛性(xing)(xing)、冷彎(wan)性(xing)(xing)及熱處理工(gong)藝(yi)性(xing)(xing)。
