Aluminum CNC Machining

 

Aluminum and aluminum alloys are one of the most versatile and economical materials available today. World aluminum production has been the top non-ferrous metal since 1956, when it surpassed copper production.

 

CNC aluminum alloy machining is the use of CNC automated machines to process aluminum materials, which is the main processing method used in the manufacturing industry today for precision parts processing, and is used by industrial manufacturers for its fast processing speed, high accuracy, and ease of processing.

Anodized Aluminum of Practical and Beautiful

 

The surface of industrial aluminum profiles after anodizing is very hard, and the hardness of the oxide film is high. Therefore, it is very wear-resistant and not easy to scratch after anodizing.

 

 

The anodized aluminum oxide film is non-conductive, so if you need to use the insulation occasions need to be anodized.

 

 

Some aluminum parts need to be painted on the surface, anodized aluminum surface voids have a strong adsorption, so that the paint is more uniform and beautiful.

 

Aluminum oxide film is transparent, and it is difficult for human eyes to see the thin layer of aluminum oxide film, and it just isolates the air so that the aluminum is not corroded.

 

 

Whether you need a custom CNC aluminum prototype or mass production, our aluminum machining engineers have the expertise and technology to deliver the quality and precision you need. 

 

So why wait? Contact Tuofa today to learn more about our CNC aluminum machining and how we can help you achieve your goals!

Milling Aluminum Improvement Plan

 

Improved Part Clamping Methods

Tuofa's machinists have developed their own set of clamping methods. The part bore positioning principle is used to deal with thin-walled aluminum parts that are less rigid, avoiding part deformation.

 

 

Improve the cutting ability of the tool

Reasonable selection of the cutting angle of the tool, while using good wear-resistant tool materials to achieve the most appropriate tool feed rate and cutting speed.

 

 

Reduce the internal stress of the blank material

When milling aluminum service, pre-machining the excess parts of the blank and reducing the margin of each part will keep the metal parts in a stable state.

 

 

People Also Ask

 

How much does aluminum CNC cost?

 

1. Calculate by machining hours

First determine the processing material, and staffing, and then indeed the batch or prototype.

The cost of cnc aluminum depends on the cost of the aluminum material and the time and loss rate required for the machining process of a single part.

Material costs, aluminum 7075 t6 international market quotes 5-6 USD / per kg
CNC machine $8-12 / hour, figure out the CNC machining time required for a single part.
Overall loss of about 5%

Batch CNC machining to be lower than the price of aluminum parts prototype, the above is only Tuofa in accordance with their own experience to estimate.


 
 
Which Aluminium is best for CNC?

 

If you are doing aluminum shell, most of the use of aluminum 6063 easy CNC machining, smooth and delicate surface treatment, oxidation effect high-end atmosphere.

Aluminum 6061 is excellent in hardness, but the surface treatment effect is not as good as aluminum 6063.

If it is used to do aviation parts, aluminum 7075 is recommended, its hardness and compressive resistance is first-class. It is a high strength heat treatable alloy, CNC machining aluminum 7075 parts have good mechanical properties and usability.


 
 
What is the best way to welding aluminum?

 

1. Argon arc welding AC and DC dual-purpose welding machine

2. The tungsten needle is punched into a round head

3. Preheat the base metal

4. Pay attention to the current

5. Welding speed

6. Using spot welding process

7. Argon gas is generally used for welding aluminum gas

In order to ensure that the product does not turn black, welding aluminum must use a gas with higher purity.
