Description
Aluminum alloy materials are favored by engineers in various industries. Aluminum alloy is a frequently used material in CNC machining. Why choose aluminum alloy? Because it has low density, light weight, easy processing and good surface treatment effect. Depending on your product’s performance requirements, usage environment, processing process, etc., you can choose different models of aluminum alloys. The commonly used aluminum alloy models of H&G Precision include: 5052, 6061, 6063, 6082, 7075, etc. Commonly used materials are in stock in the warehouse, which is convenient for direct use during processing and shortens delivery time.
What are the surface treatments for CNC machined aluminum alloy?
Many products on the market are made of aluminum alloy, with bright and beautiful surfaces. This is another advantage of aluminum alloy besides being easy to CNC process: there are also many options for surface treatment, such as anodizing and powder spraying, spray painting, electroplating, passivation, polishing, brushing, sandblasting, silk screen, laser engraving, electrophoresis, CD pattern, etching, high gloss, etching, glue, etc. No matter what kind of personalized design you have, we can provide you with customized services.
Which industries are suitable for CNC processing of aluminum alloy and small batch customization?
Aluminum alloys are widely used in almost all industries. Common ones include: camera equipment products, radiator products, flashlight products, auto parts, motorcycle parts, mechanical parts, aviation parts, ship parts, electronic appliances, lighting, furniture, sports equipment, scientific equipment, etc. If you want good anodizing effect, you can choose AL6061. If you want high hardness, it is recommended to choose AL7075 and AL2024.
Have you also encountered or are encountering this problem with CNC machining aluminum alloy?
Company A Engineer/Purchasing: Why is the surface of my customized aluminum alloy product black and pitted after anodization?
H&G sales: What materials do you use?
Company A Engineer/Purchasing: Aluminum Alloy 7075
As we all know, the oxidation effect of AL6061 is excellent, so why do customers have the above confusion?
There are two possibilities: 1. The supplier used the wrong material; 2. The material supplier got the wrong material.
If there is no inspection before processing, it is likely that AL7075 is processed as AL6061. In appearance, 6061 and 7075 are indistinguishable to the naked eye and are easily confused. 7075 aluminum is a forged alloy and is synthesized from a variety of materials, so it is Due to the different chemical reactions of each material, the oxidation effect will be uneven, and there may even be some pitting. If the product is an appearance part, the effect will be greatly reduced, so here is a reminder, aluminum materials, especially, have Post-processing requirements must ensure the authenticity of the raw materials, so CNC processing manufacturers must be equipped with a spectrometer that can detect raw materials to ensure the authenticity of the materials.
