Basic Knowledge and Considerations for CNC Machining Aluminium
Aluminum Alloy Basics
The most commonly used material for CNC machining is aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloys are versatile, easy to machine, and can undergo various surface treatments. CNC-machined aluminum finds applications in fields such as machinery, sports equipment, aerospace, automotive, marine, communication optics, medical devices, and robotics. It is one of the most popular materials for machining. Aluminum alloys may seem like a single material to those unfamiliar with them, but in reality, there are hundreds of different types and states.
Commonly used series for customized CNC machining aluminum include 2xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx, such as 2017, 2024, 5052, 5083, 6061, 6063, 7075, and others. Additionally, the same alloy can have different states, denoted by letters such as F for as-fabricated, O for annealed, H for strain-hardened, W for solution heat-treated, T for heat-treated, such as 2024-T351, 6061-T651, and so on. Different alloy types and states have different applications. For example, 2024 is suitable for aircraft structures, truck hubs, propellers, and other components, while 5052 is commonly used for thin sheets due to its good formability and corrosion resistance, finding applications in aircraft fuel tanks, vehicles, ships, instruments, brackets, medical equipment, and various sheet metal parts. 6061 is the most commonly used alloy due to its high strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various fields such as automotive, construction, marine, furniture, machinery parts, robotics, aerospace, and more.
Aluminum alloys can also undergo various surface treatments to enhance wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. Therefore, due to its superior performance and affordable price, aluminum is widely used in CNC machining. At Flourish Legend, we not only specialize in machining aluminum alloys but also work with various other metal materials like steel, stainless steel, copper, iron, magnesium alloys, zinc alloys, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, etc. Just let us know the application field and required performance of your product, and we can suggest the most suitable material.
