How To Know The CNC Machining Aluminum Components

 

Creatingway manufactures most of metal and plastic CNC machining components. It is a machining industry that uses the least amount of effort to manufacture machines efficiently. Most of the raw materials we use include alloys of aluminum and steel and sometimes other plastic materials. Aluminum has been one of our most preferred materials to use in machining. At Creatingway, CNC machining involves designing a piece of raw material into a required shape by various of processes. The process is always under control by some machines, and this gives it the subtractive name manufacturing.

 

What’s Purposed For CNC Machining Aluminum Components?

Currently, CNC machining aluminum components are application for many of industries like automobiles, aerospace, medical device and consume electronic products. Through centuries, steel has been for the manufacture of these machines until the introduction of aluminum and its alloys, which has been able to increase in demand. We have been able to realize that aluminum bends with little force when dealing with CNC machining. It also makes aluminum a masterpiece is its high resistance to temperature variation, make aluminum components easy machined.

 

What’s The Surface Finishing For CNC Machining Aluminum?

The CNC machining aluminim materials in industries for most of products application, which includs as below:

• 6061T6
• 6063T6
• 6082
• 7075
• 2017AL

It’s weight is 1/3 than steel material around. Usually, aluminum alloys have a oxides on their surfaces, which is resistant to corrosion. It makes the surface of the aluminum is much more better. Some finishing the surface of aluminum such as :

• Anodizing
• Hard Anodizing
• Sandblasting
• Polishing
• Brushing
• Power coating
• Alodine
• Teflon coating
• Painting and more

The most common finishing of aluminum materials is anodizing. Anodizing is the process of oxidizing metals bypassing some electric current through that metal surface. At the anode of the aluminum metal, an oxide film forms under the action of the electric current conducted. However, the process can not only shine the surface of the alloy but also increases its hardness and durability.

 

How To Improve CNC Machining Compoents Processes?

• Heat management in aluminum machining

CNC machining involves the use of machines that their movement when operating can generate some heat from cutting to grinding. This kind of heat might produce some distortion in the workpiece and may even damage some parts of the system. It calls for a coolant system that regulates the temperature of the operation hence heat management. One of the ways we use to control heat is through the employment of High-Efficiency Milling [HEM]. It is roughing procedure that operates on the principle of chip thinning through the application of axial depth of cut that is large, and radial depth of that is smaller. It applies at the final stage; however, it boosts the rate of removal of material due to its faster speed. When you need to cut a large amount of material during roughing, HEM is incorporated to handle the task more effectively.

Another method to ensure temperature regulation is by using proper coolant techniques. Coolants exist in many forms and can always keep the temperature of the machines in check to prevent overheating. These can be compressed air, water-based, soluble oil-based, and even synthetic. The coolants have different formulas for their delivery. The mode of delivery varies through high pressure, flood, and high pressure. It is because a system breakdown can result from the wrong delivery of the coolant.

• Chip Management

Poor chip management has severe damages to the tool and the system. When there is no monitoring the control of chips, the conveyor might come to a halt, and with time, the tools might not last long. All these shortcomings have solutions developed by our highly skilled team. One of them is identifying the nature of the chip. When handling metal cutting tools, the heat generated while cutting has a tiny window of escape, and therefore the heat might leave with the chip or the workpiece, but the workpiece while held in place. One should not ignore the size of the chip since smaller sizes are better as compared to large ones. The surface of the chips also deserves some attention since rough surfaces, or rugged exterior means that the process is not stable and should be corrected.
