CNC milling aluminum: efficient manufacturing technology for lightweight materials

CNC milling aluminum is an efficient and accurate manufacturing technology that shows its advantages and application potential in many aspects. Aluminum is a lightweight metal with excellent thermal and electrical conductivity and is easy to machine. There are several types of alloys such as 6061, 7075, 6063 and 2024, each with different properties for different production requirements.

Types of aluminum:

6061 aluminum alloy:

This alloy is relatively easy to machine, corrosion resistant and has excellent mechanical and welding properties. Therefore, it is widely used in the manufacturing industry. It has sufficient strength and excellent stability, making it suitable for various aircraft and automotive components.

7075 aluminum alloy:

This alloy has high strength and hardness and is suitable for applications where high forces must be applied. For example, aircraft structural components and high-performance bicycle frames can be strong enough with 7075 aluminum alloy.

Aluminum alloy 6063:

This alloy has excellent extrusion properties and is often used for architectural profiles such as doors, window frames and balustrades. It is also very effective as a surface treatment and can be anaodized to change its color.

2024 aluminum alloy:

has excellent fatigue strength and corrosion resistance and is suitable for components operating at high speeds. In the aerospace industry, it is often used for basic components such as aircraft structural parts and fuselage frames.

Processing technology:

CNC milling aluminum is the process of fixing the aluminum workpiece and using a rotating multi-point tool to move along the axial direction to remove material. It is suitable for the processing of flat and irregular shapes, and can produce detailed features and surface finishing.

Application areas:
