Custom/OEM CNC Machinery Milling Turning Aluminum Parts

Q: What are the characteristics of Al6061-T6 material in CNC machining?

 Al6061-T6 is a high-strength aluminum alloy commonly used for structural and mechanical components. In CNC machining, Al6061-T6 is favored for its good mechanical and machinability properties. It is easy to machine and has a high surface quality after machining, which is consistent with the “Roughness of Ra0.8, no scratches during machining and transportation” mentioned on the page.

Q: What is the difference between “Sand Finish” and “Clear Anodized”?

“Sand Blasting” is a surface treatment process in which high velocity sand particles are impacted on the surface of a material to deburr, increase surface roughness, or obtain a specific texture. “Clear Anodizing, on the other hand, is an electrochemical process that forms a transparent oxide film on the surface of aluminum, which enhances the material's corrosion resistance while maintaining its natural color. These two surface treatment technologies are employed in the processing of optical instrument top covers mentioned on the page to improve the appearance quality and durability of the products.

Q: What is the maximum diameter and length that JST can process?

The maximum diameter of CNC milled and turned aluminum parts we can handle is 500 mm and the maximum length is 1000 mm. This means that we are able to meet the machining needs of large size parts and provide customized solutions for a variety of industrial applications.

Dr. Sophie Schmidt, Senior Researcher at the German Research Center for Aerospace Technology (DLR), focusing on engine performance and component precision.

-- "We were very impressed with the machining accuracy and surface finish of JST Industry. The parts we ordered are machined on NC lathes and 3-axis machining centers, made of aluminum and brass, with sandblasted and clear anodized surfaces. The roughness of the parts reaches Ra 0.8 and the tolerance is controlled within ±0.01mm. This high precision machining capability ensures the performance and reliability of the parts in aerospace applications. "

Emma Williams, Head of Sourcing for a large US West Coast aerospace parts supply chain management company, is responsible for finding reliable international suppliers.

-- "In terms of surface finishes, JST Industry offers a wide range of options including sandblasting, electroplating, chrome plating, painting, polishing, anodizing and heat treating. We are particularly pleased with their anodizing treatment, which not only improves the corrosion and wear resistance of the aluminum parts, but also improves the appearance of the parts, making them more aesthetically pleasing and durable.

-- "The one-stop-shop service provided by JST Industry has been a huge time and cost saver for us. They not only provide precision CNC machining services, but also casting and forging according to our needs and subsequent machining. This one-stop service not only simplifies our procurement process, but also ensures the quality and performance of the parts. "
