Why Aluminum CNC Machining Matters
Aluminum CNC machining offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for applications where reducing weight without sacrificing durability is critical from aerospace components to automotive parts and robotics housings. Our CNC milling and CNC turning centers machine aluminum to tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inch (0.0127 mm), allowing us to produce intricate features, thin walls, and complex shapes with confidence and repeatability.
Aluminum naturally resists corrosion, and with the right alloy and finishing process, parts maintain their integrity and appearance even in demanding environments extending service life and reducing maintenance needs. Whether you need a single prototype or a production run of thousands, our quality-controlled process backed by CMM inspection and detailed documentation ensures every part matches the last, with no variation in fit or function.

Provides corrosion resistance and long service life
Enables repeatable, high-quality production
Delivers Consistent and Structural Performance
Aluminum CNC Machining Alloy Types
Choosing the right aluminum CNC machining alloy grade is an important part of making a CNC machining project work. Because each alloy has its own chemical makeup and heat treatment state, they all have very different properties. These are some of the most common aluminum alloys used in CNC machining, along with their usual uses.
Model |
Key Characteristics |
Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 6061-T6 | Excellent comprehensive performance, good strength, weldability and corrosion resistance, high machinability | Aerospace components, automotive parts, bicycle frames, electronic enclosures, general mechanical parts |
| 7075-T6 | Ultrahigh strength, high hardness, good stress corrosion cracking resistance, but the corrosion resistance is general, usually need coating protection | Aerospace structural components, high-performance bicycle parts, molds, military equipment, high-strength tools and fixtures |
| 2024-T3 | High fatigue strength, good toughness, but poor corrosion resistance, usually need coating or aluminum cladding | Aircraft structural parts, rivets, gears, hydraulic accessories |
| 5052 | Excellent corrosion resistance, good formability and fatigue strength, and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment | Marine equipment, automobile fuel tanks, sheet metal parts, electronic enclosures, lighting equipment, general hardware |
| MIC-6 | Cast aluminum alloy plate, excellent dimensional stability and flatness, internal stress elimination, minimal deformation after processing | Precision measurement platform, jigs & fixtures, templates, mirror base, vacuum chuck |
