Aluminum Material Grades We Work With
Aluminum alloy has a wide range of properties, such as flexibility, weldability, high strength, corrosion resistance and light weight, and excellent anodizing surface treatment. Due to its low cost and formability, aluminum is widely used in industry. The type of aluminum grade you ultimately choose depends on the intended use of your aluminum parts in the manufacturing project.

Benefits Of Using Aluminum In Machining Operations
Aluminum is one of the most versatile manufacturing materials in the world, which is why it’s so popular in a wide range of industries. But why exactly is aluminum so suitable for CNC machining? Well, here are some of its main advantages.
- Light Weight.
Aluminum is one of the lightest metals available, weighing just over 2.7 g/cm3. That’s very useful for transportation, usability, and other practical reasons that are important in a range of industries - Light Weight.

Design Recommendations
To reduce costs, limit the number of part setups, the number of inspection dimensions or tight tolerances, and deep pockets with small radii. f surface finish is not a concer, you may design your part to be made from the closest stock thickness, specified in a drawing
| Min Wall Thickness | Min End Mill Size | Min Drill Size | Max Part Size | Undercuts | Radii : Depth |
| 0.5 mm | 0.8 mm (0.03 in) | 0.5 mm (0.02 in) | 1200 x 500 x 152mm [x,y,z] (mill) 152 x 394 mm [d,h] (lathe) | Square profile, full radius, dovetail profiles | Depth must not exceed 12x drill bit diameter. For end mills, depth must not exceed 10x tool diameter |
Benefits Of Using Aluminum In Machining Operations
Generally, aluminum CNC machining is not a standalone production process. When short-run production needs reach hundreds or more, you need a complete solution to achieve a more efficient, accurate and cost-effective process.
When manufacturing aluminum parts, we review each project based on the complexity and manufacturabilty of the part, evaluate the production cost, and create a process route that meets your design and specifications.
We have combined 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis CNC milling, CNC turning and other manufacturing processes to expand the manufacturing capabilities of aluminum parts, accommodate any challenge with ease, and save time and cost. These optimized process combinations include traditional process technologies such as EDM, Wire EDM, Die Casting, Investment Casting, Aluminum Extrusion, and Forging.
