Aluminum is a relatively easy metal to machine which makes it great for CNC machining. Aluminum has useful properties for machining such as being lightweight, malleable, tractable and overall good durability. It being so light and easy to work with means that it can be used for a wide variety of applications. CNC machined Aluminum parts begin as a raw piece of metal which is cut down bit by bit to create a desired shape or object. This process is done most accurately with a CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machine which can produce almost any three dimensional object designed via CAD (Computer Aided Design) software.
Professional & High-level Aluminum CNC machining
With the rapid development of industries, the demand for aluminum continues to grow. There are more than 700,000 kinds of aluminum alloy products. Due to its good physical and mechanical properties, aluminum is widely used in construction, transportation, aerospace, electronics, medical equipment, automobiles, machinery, hardware and other fields.
Aluminum is the most abundant metal element in the earth's crust, ranking second only to steel in metals. The density of aluminum alloy is low, but its strength is relatively high, which is close to or exceeds that of high-quality steel. It has good plasticity, can be processed into various profiles, and has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. In addition to the application of some pure aluminum, in order to improve the strength or comprehensive performance, other elements can be added to form alloys. Adding an alloying element to aluminum can change its structure and properties, making it suitable for various processing materials or casting parts.
The applications of Aluminum CNC machining:
As stated earlier, aluminum alloys have a number of desirable properties. Hence, CNC-machined aluminum parts are indispensable in several industries, including the following:
1)Aerospace: due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, several aircraft fittings are made from machined aluminum.
2)Automotive: similar to the aerospace industry, several parts such as shafts and other components in the automotive industry are made from aluminum.
3)Electrical: having high electrical conductivities, CNC machined aluminum parts are often used as electronic components in electrical appliances.
4)Food/Pharmaceutical: aluminium parts play important roles in the food and pharmaceutical industries because they do not react with most organic substances.
5)Sports: aluminum is often used to make sports equipment such as baseball bats and sports whistles.
6)Cryogenics: aluminum's ability to retain its mechanical properties at sub-zero temperatures, makes aluminum parts desirable for cryogenic applications.
