Advantages of using Aluminum

In addition to its excellent machinability, aluminum demonstrates many characteristics that make

it suitable for use in machining operations, such as:

1. Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance
2. High strength-to-weight ratio
3. Good heat and electrical conductivity
4. Easily machined
5. Reflects heat and light

Product Details

CNC Machining with Aluminum

Aluminum is an excellent material for CNC machining due to its high machinability, ductility,

and favorable strength-to-weight ratio. It offers outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity,

low density, and inherent resistance to corrosion.

Aluminum Finishing and Post-Processing

Aluminum can also be anodized for additional surface protection and aesthetic finishes.

Applications of CNC Aluminum Parts

Aluminum is a popular choice for many metal products and components:

1. Auto Parts 2. Optical Reflectors 3. Aircraft Parts

4. Lighting Fixtures 5. Electronic Enclosures

6. Engine Parts 7. Handles and Knobs

FAQ's

1. What is Anodizing used for?

Anodizing is a process that forms an aluminum oxide layer on the surface of an aluminum alloy,

significantly enhancing its wear resistance due to the hardness of aluminum oxide.

Anodized aluminum finds applications in scenarios where wear resistance is crucial, such as

components constantly in motion and in contact with other materials. Common applications include

coupling bodies, stop flanges, and valves.

Dyeing is another popular application of anodized aluminum. The porous nature of the aluminum

oxide layer created during anodization allows certain dyes to be absorbed, enabling the customization

of colors for aluminum alloys.

This opens up possibilities for dyeing anodized aluminum in products like knobs and body housings.

Furthermore, aluminum oxide, being less conductive than aluminum, can serve as electrical insulation.

This feature finds utility in applications like electric car battery terminals and cable pins, where

electrical isolation is essential.

2. Post-processing and surface finishes for CNC machining

CNC-machined parts as they emerge from the machine often exhibit visible tool marks, a feature that

may not align with your specific part requirements.

Fortunately, there exists a multitude of post-processing techniques aimed at enhancing the surface

appearance and elevating attributes such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and chemical

resistance.

Methods like anodizing, bead blasting, and powder coating present viable options for refining the

final presentation of your custom parts, allowing you to achieve the desired surface quality and

performance characteristics.

3. What is the typical delivery time and quotation process?

Delivery time is determined based on the complexity of the parts. For low-complexity parts,

the lead time is typically 2-3 days. As the complexity of the parts increases, the lead time can range

from 2-5 days. High-complexity parts may require a lead time of 5-15 days.

Similarly, the quotation process varies depending on the complexity of your design. Quotes can be

provided in as little as 1 business day, or it may take 3 or more business days for more intricate

designs.
