Aluminum & Brass Machining
Brass & Aluminum CNC Machining
Regarding CNC machining, aluminum alloys, and aluminum grade play a crucial role in determining the quality and performance of the final product. Aluminum machining, particularly with 5-axis CNC machines, offers significant advantages in achieving tight tolerances and producing complex shapes. Machining aluminum is highly efficient due to its lightweight nature and versatility in various applications.
Using carbide tooling in the CNC machining process enhances the quality of the finish and reduces production costs. Additionally, aluminum’s corrosion resistance, especially its high corrosion resistance, makes it an ideal choice for applications in marine and atmospheric conditions. The right cutting tool is essential in CNC machining processes like turning, drilling, and milling, ensuring precise material removal and optimal performance.
Heat-treated aluminum alloys, such as those designated T651 and T7351, offer enhanced strength and hardness, making them suitable for demanding applications in the aerospace and automotive industries. Aluminum’s natural corrosion resistance, which forms a protective oxide layer, can be further improved through anodizing, enhancing both wear and corrosion resistance.
When it comes to aluminum CNC machining, working with non-ferrous metals like aluminum alloy and brass, you need a CNC machine that can handle more cut forces. ShopSabre CNC routers are built to deliver the cut forces needed to create impressive aluminum and brass products.
