Milling Aluminum

What is Aluminum Machining?

Aluminum is one of the most popular machining materials thanks to its workability, strength, and versatility. What’s more, its low cost makes it perfect for prototypes, end-use products, and custom tools for molding. 

From standard grades like 6061 to high-quality aerospace grades like 7075, we have an aluminum alloy for every CNC machining project.

We also have the skills and the cutting-edge equipment to handle every challenge that might arise during production and improve the machinability of aluminum compared to our competitors. 

Our team has years of experience in machining with aluminum, as it makes up roughly 70% of used materials.

Advantages of Aluminum Machining

Aluminum is one of the most versatile manufacturing materials in the world, which is why it’s so popular in a wide range of industries. 

But why exactly is aluminum so suitable for CNC machining? Well, here are some of its main advantages:

1.Light Weight. Aluminum is one of the lightest metals available, weighing just over 2.7 g/cm3. That’s very useful for transportation,

2.usability, and other practical reasons that are important in a range of industries.

3.Anti-Corrosive qualities. Anti-corrosive qualities are another significant advantage of aluminum, was it helps protect it from oxidation.

4.That, combined with a range of finishes and coatings, ensures that your parts will serve you for a long time.

5.Conductivity. Aluminum has excellent qualities of thermal and electrical conductivity. That makes it suitable for a range of uses similar to copper and other conductive materials.

6.Convenient Machining. Another reason why aluminum is so popular is its ease of use with machining.

7.The material is easy to shape, drill, and fold, allowing to create even the most complex shapes.

8.Temperature Resistance. Unlike some other material options, aluminum is resistant to low temperatures, meaning that the machining process is more flexible.
