Capabilities Of Aluminum Parts CNC Machining Service

Our aluminum CNC machining service covers a comprehensive range of precision processes for producing high-quality parts and assemblies. Each step is executed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring accuracy and reliability. The core activities include:

Cutting

Employing CNC cutting methods, we can dimension and contour aluminum materials to meet the requirements of each project. This is accomplished through high-speed machining tools designed to produce smooth-cut borders with no excess material and achieve highly close tolerances, allowing each part to fit perfectly into the overall structure.

Tapping

Tapping is crucial to nearly all components fitted with screws or bolts. The automated grand plan includes depth-controlled end tapping and a combination of drilling and tapping. All are passed into high-precision taps and fed into an automatic machine to achieve prescribed thread definitions and dimensional tolerance limits.

Drilling

Different types of drilling operations exist, including creating through holes, countersunk holes, and closed holes whose diameters and depths require close attention and control. Carbide-tipped drills and multi-axis CNC machines produce holes free of excessive material within the aluminum structure cavity.

Assembly

For off-site and on-site assembly, we provide complete finished product assembly services, including providers of off-site preparation services. The nanoparticles are accurately positioned and fastened while satisfying the necessary standards. We also offer robust support for straightforward assembly dispersion, such as step-by-step guides for installation and relevant video support.

Aluminum Material Comparison: Types of Aluminum Materials

Classified according to alloy composition:

Pure aluminum: e.g., 1000 series, which has over 99 % aluminum and is characteristic of good conductive and corrosion resistance, power wire and cable, and chemical equipment.
Alloyed: e.g., 2000 series aluminum-copper alloy, 3000 series aluminum manganese alloy, 4000 series aluminum-silicon alloy, 5000 series aluminum magnesium alloy, 6000 series aluminum magnesium silicon alloy, 7000 series aluminum zinc magnesium alloy. Each series has its definite application areas and performance characteristics.

Specific models and application examples

Aluminum 1000 series: e.g., 1050, 1060 find application in cases that do not require high strength like cables.
Aluminum 2000 series: e.g., 2A16 finds applications in which strength is necessary, such as automotive radiators.
Aluminum 3000 series: e.g., 3003 and 3004 are relatively good in rust resistance and are ideally used in containers and construction.
Aluminum 5000 series: For example, 5052 is good at reducing corrosion size and forming and is used in vessels and buildings.
Aluminum 6000 series: For example, 6061 has more strength than the 5000 series and many medium strengths. It is a good material for car bodies and marine decks.

Top Surface Finishes for CNC Aluminum Machining Services

Top Surface Treatments for CNC Machined Aluminum Parts: Enhancing Product Quality and Appearance

Anodic Oxidation

Bead Blasting

Powder Coating

Electroplating

Polishing

Brushing

Anodic oxidation is a frequently used method of treating the surface, which increases the durability of mechanical parts and components for planes and cars. It increases resistance to wear, prevents corrosion, and strengthens the surface, resulting in a matte finish.

The treatment produces smooth surfaces with an elegant matte finish, ideal for enhancing visual appeal. Bead blasting can be applied to ABS plastic, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, or steel, among other materials; this dramatically enhances overall aesthetic beauty.

Powder coating is a solventless process in which dry powder is sprayed electrostatically and cured by heat or UV light. It is available in aluminum, stainless steel, and steel, with colors ranging from black to any RAL code or Pantone number and finishes of either gloss or semi-gloss.

Electroplating is commonly used in the automotive industry because it meets functional needs, adds beauty, and protects against corrosion. Chrome plating gives steel parts an attractive, glossy look. Aluminum, steel, stainless steel, etc., are often employed for a polished finish.

Experience surface refinement to a dazzling shine! Various materials reflect light differently depending on how they were treated chemically or mechanically (through manual buffing). Different methods may be used, but all aim at achieving glossiness, e.g., when working with regular steel/aluminum/stainless steel (brass).

Surface brushing intricately refines materials such as ABS plastic, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and steel using abrasive belts, imparting them with a satin finish that enhances objects’ looks and makes them visually more appealing.
