Benefits of Choosing Aluminum for CNC Parts
Aluminum is a popular choice for machining due to its low density, good mechanical properties, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Aluminum alloys such as 6061-T651, 7075-T651, and 2024-T351 are often used for CNC machining because they offer a good balance between strength, machinability, and cost.
- Both Strong and Lightweight
- Excellent Machinability
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
- Greater Electrical Conductivity
- Resistant to Low Temperatures
- Surface Finishing and Anodization Potential
- Lower Production Costs
- Recyclability
Machining Aluminum Prototypes
Aluminum CNC prototyping is an effective way to handle complex design validation and pre-production testing before mass production. It enables you to identify and resolve issues and move toward production faster.
We perform efficient, accurate, and cost-effective processes in-house to provide superior product results for your aluminum prototype machining. Our engineering team will review each project, analyze your design and address any special needs, such as a combination of welding, EDM, or wire EDM processes. This in-depth validation ensures you receive the most effective machining process to fit your budget, time, and materials.
Bulk Custom Aluminum Parts
If you need a custom aluminum parts project, we have the technology, experience, skills and equipment to provide large and small batches of aluminum parts manufacturing. Our strict implementation of ISO9001 quality system standards, combined with efficient production processes and flexible custom engineering, enables us to deliver complex projects in a short time and provide excellent product quality.
We also provide typical surface treatment operations for custom aluminum parts, such as sandblasting, shot peening, polishing, electrophoresis, chromating, powder coating, painting, etc.
Aluminum Material Type
Aluminum alloys are one of the most widely used metals due to their excellent mechanical properties. Aluminum parts are ideal for applications that require excellent, corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, lightweight, conductive, and overall versatility. The grade of aluminum you use will ultimately be determined by your machining project. Therefore, you can choose aluminum with specific qualities and shapes to meet your requirements. At Elimold, we offer 13 different types of aluminum: Aluminum 6061-T6, Aluminum 7075-T6, Aluminum 6082, Aluminum 5083, Aluminum 6063, Aluminum 5052, Aluminum 2024, Aluminum 7050, Aluminum MIC6, Aluminum 2017, Aluminum A380, and Aluminum 2014.
Finishing Options for CNC Machined Aluminum Parts
Anodizing is one of the most common finishing options, offering strong corrosion protection and enhancing the overall appearance of metal parts. Three types of aluminum anodizing are available from Protolabs:
- Type I-Chromic Acid: Provides a whisper-thin but still durable coating. Commonly used for welded parts and assemblies, and as a primer before painting. Like all anodized surfaces, it is non-conductive.
- Type II-Sulfuric Acid: Harder than Type I it offers an exceedingly durable finish. Usage examples include: carabiner hooks, flashlight handles, motorcycle parts, and hydraulic valve bodies.
- Type III-Hard Anodize or Hardcoat: This is the thickest and hardest anodize available, and has a wide range of applications for parts and products in automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, marine industry, general manufacturing, and military/law enforcement.
