Why Use CNC Machining in Making Low Volume Aluminum Parts

 

At Creatingway, we offer the best low volume CNC machining for aluminum parts. We live and thrive by the slogan low cost, top quality, and quick delivery. More and more industries are opting for CNC machining of low volume aluminum parts. Aluminum is an awesome material due to its amazing features. When it comes to machining materials, it is cheaper due to the lower machining time. Low volume aluminum parts are also strong and resistant to rust or corrosion.

Moreover, the aluminum machined parts offer awesome conductivity and malleability. Today, low volume CNC machined aluminum parts have an array of uses. Some of them include automotive, medical, military, and aerospace industries. These parts need experts in precision machining to create them. Here is where our pros at Creatingway come into play.

We often begin by rapidly coming up with the product design. We then turn to the low-volume production of the part. Afterward, we can shift our focus to its mass production depending on the client’s order. CNC Machining low volume aluminum parts play a vital role in a part’s process. Our deep grasping of its special needs gives us the much-needed edge over our rivals.

What Are the Main Low Volume Aluminum CNC Machining Services?

• CNC Turning

At Creatingway, we have in house CNC turning machines. In addition, we offer a few sub-operations. A few are namely EDM and drilling

• Precision CNC Milling

We have a wide array of precision CNC milling. Some include working with 3-axis and 5-axis CNC millers. They aid us in creating machined low volume aluminum parts.

What are the Advantages of Low Volume CNC Aluminum?

• No Investment in tooling

To begin with, a die-casting tool is usually a costly investment. Luckily, CNC machining allows us to save a lot on start-up costs. Moreover, it helps us reduce financial risk in the long term.

• Shorter Lead Time

It may take us about 30 days to come up with a tooling item. CNC machining allows us to shorten the schedule. We can quickly deliver the product to the market and gain a foothold early enough. Most of our clients, therefore, opt for it.

• An Improved Surface Finish

CNC machining of low volume aluminum parts offers stunning visual appeal. This allows us to avail of the product without having to provide a post-finish service.

• Availability of More Post Finishes

Most CNC machined aluminum parts can receive a wide array of post finishes. Some of them are namely anodizing, powder coating, and chrome plating.

What Grades of Aluminum do We Work with at Creatingway?

• Aluminum 6061

This is the most preferred aluminum grade. This is since it avails the following key features. One it offers great mechanical properties that allow us to weld it easily. In addition, it offers good toughness that makes it awesome or extrusion. We can easily anodize it and its corrosion resistance makes it ideal for harsh environs.

• Aluminum 7075

  

This is the second most preferred aluminum grade after the previous one. It is renowned for its fatigue strength. We can thus use it as a low volume part for tough components. Examples are fuselages and aircraft wings. Others include bike parts and rock climbing gear. In addition, it is lightweight which gives it more appeal. We can also use it as a reflector for cars as it has amazing polish features.

• Aluminum 5052

We usually use this aluminum grade in sheet metal processing. We can also opt for it when CNC machining low-volume parts that are likely to face a salty environment. This is since it confers the right amount of corrosion resistance. Examples of clients are those from the marine and industrial set up. In addition, we can easily punch, bend, and shear the sheets we make using it.

• Aluminum 6063

This aluminum grade offers amazing mechanical features. It thus allows us to easily weld it and apply heat treatment. We may use it when creating complex shapes that have smooth surfaces. There are thus several low volume aluminum parts we can machine using it. These namely sign frames, roofs, doorframes, and window frames.

What Are the post-finishes Available for Aluminum?

• Anodizing

This electrolytic process is ideal for CNC machined low volume aluminum parts. It increases the thickness of its natural oxide layer. Moreover, we can anodize it in any color as per the client’s needs.

• Alodine

We mainly use it as a primer, corrosion inhibitor, and a decorative touch. It also allows the low volume aluminum part to maintain its conductivity.

• Powder Coating

We achieve this using a powder spray in the presence of an electrostatic field. We then proceed to cure it at a high temperature forming a protective layer. It offers a better quality finish than a baking finish. This is since it avoids any runs, spray patterns, and show brush strokes. It thus results in an even and uniform post-finish.
