The CNC machining process uses turning tools and drills to remove material from a block of material in order to create a part. This process is ideal for producing components with tight tolerances. CNC machining is a fast and highly repeatable process that can be applied to any type of material – including aluminum – which from a machinist perspective is one of the easiest metals to machine. Not only is it easy on your CNC equipment and tools, but it’s consistent machinability allow the CNC machine to create very tight finished component tolerances. At Howard Precision Metals, your trusted custom extruded aluminum distributor, we offer the aluminum grades and extrusions you need for your CNC machining applications.
By using the right aluminum alloy for a CNC machining application, you can ensure you are using a material that has the characteristics you need, whether corrosion-resistance, conductivity, or strength, etc.
Aluminum alloy 6061 and MIC 6 may be used in many general purpose applications. On the other hand, aluminum alloys 2024, 7075, and 6082 are ideal for high performance requirements. At Howard Precision Metals, we are able to provide aluminum for various types of CNC machining that are designed and manufactured for optimal performance in any CNC machining operations.
Due to the versatility of CNC machining, engineers can find it challenging to select a short list of potential materials for a given application. However, with our extensive knowledge-base and experience, we can help you choose the optimum aluminum alloy or extrusion that will meet the critical requirements of your project.
