Equivalents are the closest common grades, not exact matches in chemistry or properties. Please specify the grade on your drawing; we confirm material before quoting. Other materials are available on request.

Processes

Machining Processes

Each part is assigned to the partner factory best suited to its material, geometry and volume, from single prototypes to small batches.

5-axis CNC machining

Complex geometry in fewer setups, up to 400 mm (15.7″) cubic size.

CNC turning & milling

Shafts, housings, plates and brackets, including drilling and tapping.

Wire EDM & EDM

Hardened materials, fine slots and sharp internal corners.

Precision grinding

Flat and cylindrical surfaces with tight size and finish requirements.

Coordinated

Surface treatment

Anodizing, plating and other finishes through our partner network.

Coordinated

Heat treatment

Arranged as part of the same order, with inspection after treatment.

Precision

Precision & Tolerances

Typical ranges we handle regularly. Achievable values depend on part size, material and design; we review every drawing before quoting.

Item Typical range
Critical dimensions Down to ±0.01–±0.02 mm on specified features
General tolerances Per JIS B 0405 (equivalent to ISO 2768), or as specified on your drawing
Hole and shaft fits H7 / H8 grade fits, e.g. Ø18 H7
Geometric tolerances Flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity: 0.02–0.05 mm, depending on part size
Surface roughness Ra 1.6, Rz 3.2–Rz 12.5
Inspection 3D CMM, KEYENCE optical measurement, XRF material analysis on request
Casting

Cast Parts: Not Yet Supported Directly

We currently focus on machined parts produced from bar, plate and tube stock, and do not operate casting production ourselves. We are expanding our casting partner network, so please contact us if your project includes cast components.

FAQ

Materials & Capability Questions

Looking for a specific material or process? Email info@yoshimoto.vn

What materials can you machine?

Aluminum alloys (A2017, A5052, A6061, A6063, A7075), stainless steel (SUS303, SUS304, SUS316/316L, SUS420J2, SUS440C), carbon, alloy and tool steel (S45C, S50C, SCM435, SCM440, SS400, SKD11, ASTM A572, ASTM A519), copper alloys (C1100, C3604) and engineering plastics (PEEK, POM, MC Nylon, PTFE, PC, PVC).

Can you work from drawings that specify AISI or ASTM grades?

Yes. We map the specified grade to a locally available equivalent for your approval, or source the specified grade through import channels when needed.

Do you source imported materials?

Yes. For materials with limited availability in Vietnam, such as certain ASTM-grade steels and specific aluminum tempers, we coordinate import sourcing through established supplier channels.

What tolerances can you hold?

Critical dimensions down to ±0.01–±0.02 mm on specified features, H7/H8 fits, and geometric tolerances of 0.02–0.05 mm depending on part size. General tolerances follow JIS B 0405 (equivalent to ISO 2768) unless your drawing specifies otherwise.

Can you provide material certificates?

Yes. Material certificates and RoHS documentation are available on request, and material can be verified by XRF analysis before machining.

Can you supply cast parts?

Not directly at this time. We focus on machined parts from bar, plate and tube stock, and are expanding our casting partner network. Please contact us to discuss projects that include cast components.
