Advantages of Aluminum
Aluminum is a common metal for industries like aerospace, 自動車, and electronics. It is soft, non-magnetic, and easy to shape. Adding elements like magnesium, copper, or manganese makes strong alloys with better strength, durability, and specific features. Aluminum works great for CNC machining because it is easy to cut. It allows accurate cuts, quick work, and smooth finishes. Aluminum CNC machining provides affordable, high-quality parts. It helps your projects stay reliable and high quality.
Advantages
- Strength-to-weight ratio: It offers remarkably high strength even though has low weight.
- Corrosion resistance: It offers natural corrosion resistance in different atmospheric conditions
- Machinability: It is easier to form and machine since it is soft and chips easily.
- Custom finishing: Aluminum parts are compatible with extensive surface finishes
Notes
- Material properties: It is a soft and ductile metal that can easily deform or warp during the machining
- Surface finish: smooth and consistent surface finish can be difficult to achieve when machining complex shapes and features
- Burrs and sharp edges: Aluminium can produce sharp burrs and edges during machining

FAQs Aout Aluminum CNC Machining
The cost of aluminum CNC machining depends on factors such as the type of alloy used, part complexity, tolerances required, surface finishes, batch size, and machining time. We offer competitive pricing tailored to your project needs.
Yes, aluminum alloys can be CNC machined to tight tolerances, often within ±0.01mm or better, depending on the machining equipment, tooling, and part geometry. If tolerance is not specified, we will machine the aluminum parts with ISO 2768 standard.
Aluminum alloys can be finished with various surface treatments including anodizing type II and Type III, powder coating, painting, bead blasting, and polishing, to enhance aesthetics, corrosion resistance, and wear properties.
