CNC Machining Materials for Aluminum Parts

Aluminum 2024

2024 aluminum alloy is an aluminum alloy with copper as the main alloying element. It is used in applications requiring a high strength-to-weight ratio as well as good fatigue resistance. Although 2024 aluminum is not as strong as 7075 aluminum, it is often used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is required. It is heat treatable and non-magnetic.

Aluminum 6061

The standard alloy used for our machining services is Aluminum 6061, a versatile and easy-to-machine metal. It is corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic, and heat treatable.

Aluminum 6063

AA 6063 is an aluminum alloy, with magnesium and silicon as the alloying elements. 6063 aluminum is more resistant to corrosion and molding than 6061 aluminum. It is not suitable for high-strength applications but can be used for exterior railings and decorative trim. The benefit of CNC machined 6.63 aluminum is that it is heat treatable and non-magnetic.

Aluminum 5052

5052 aluminum is the easiest aluminum to weld and is extremely resistant to salt spray and salt water. It is easy to form, heat treatable, and non-magnetic. The exceptional corrosion resistance of 5052 alloys against seawater and salt spray makes it a primary candidate for the failure-sensitive large marine structures, like tanks of liquefied natural gas tankers.

Typical applications of 5052 aluminum alloy include marine, aircraft, architecture, general sheet metal work, heat exchangers, fuel lines and tanks, flooring panels, streetlights, appliances, rivets, and wire.

Aluminum 7075

7075 aluminum is often a hard, high-strength alternative to 6061 aluminum. It is often used for parts in high-stress applications, and 7075 aluminum is also corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic, and heat-treatable.

Strength of Aluminum in CNC Machining

1. Wide Applications

2. low in density and high in strength

3. Various Quality Aluminum Materials

4. Good electrical conductivity

5. Cost-effective production

Post Processing of CNC Machined Aluminum Parts

Untreated aluminum usually has a matte silver/grey finish, depending on the roughness of the surface.

Many consumer products made of aluminum need to be anodized, such as laptop computers. Anodization allows the introduction of a variety of color options and adds a consistent sheen throughout the profile.

Aluminum can also be media blasted, sanded, and hand-polished for a variety of surface finishes.
