Machining characteristics of aluminum CNC turning parts

Easy to cut: The hardness of aluminum is relatively low. During CNC turning, the cutting force is small and the tool wear is relatively slow. It is easy to process and can improve processing efficiency. For example, under the same cutting conditions, the cutting speed of aluminum alloy can be several times faster than that of steel. Moreover, the surface quality after processing is also good, which can reduce subsequent processing procedures and lower processing costs.

High precision: CNC lathes have high-precision control systems and positioning accuracy, which can achieve precise processing of aluminum parts and ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape accuracy of parts. Through programming, the movement trajectory of the tool can be precisely controlled to process parts with complex shapes and high-precision requirements, such as some precision aluminum alloy parts in the aerospace field.

Good surface quality: CNC turning can obtain better surface roughness by reasonably selecting cutting parameters and tools, making the part surface smooth, reducing subsequent processes such as grinding and polishing, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

Material properties of aluminum turned parts

Light weight

The density of aluminum is about 2.7g/cm³, which is much lower than many common metals. The CNC turned parts made of aluminum are lightweight, which is of great significance in fields such as aerospace and automobiles. It can reduce the overall structural weight and improve transportation efficiency and energy utilization.

Good thermal and electrical conductivity

Good thermal conductivity makes it perform well in some applications that require heat dissipation, such as radiators for electronic equipment; electrical conductivity meets the needs of some parts in electrical equipment and can be used to manufacture wires, cables and various electrical connection components.

Strong corrosion resistance

Aluminum easily reacts with oxygen in the air and forms a dense alumina film on the surface. This oxide film can prevent the internal aluminum from being further oxidized, making it have good corrosion resistance and suitable for manufacturing parts in various harsh environments, reducing maintenance costs and prolonging service life.

High strength-to-weight ratio

By reasonably adding alloying elements (such as magnesium, silicon, etc.) and optimizing processing techniques (such as heat treatment, cold working, etc.), aluminum alloys can obtain high strength. The strength-to-weight ratio can even exceed some traditional high-strength steels. While ensuring structural strength, it further reduces weight.

In terms of production efficiency

High degree of automation: CNC lathes can realize automated processing. Through pre-written programs, the processing process of parts can be automatically completed, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and processing consistency. At the same time, devices such as automatic tool change systems can be equipped to further improve processing efficiency and automation degree.

Mass production: Once the CNC program is debugged, mass production can be carried out. The processing accuracy and quality are stable and reliable, which can meet the needs of large-scale production and is suitable for the processing needs of a large number of identical parts in industries such as automobiles and electronics.

Characteristics of Aluminum turned parts

Light weight: The density of aluminum is about 2.7g/cm³, which is much lower than many common metals such as iron (density about 7.86g/cm³) and copper (density about 8.96g/cm³), which can effectively reduce the overall structural weight.

Strong recyclability: Aluminum has high recycling value. The recycling energy consumption is only about 5% of the energy consumption for primary aluminum production, and the performance loss of recycled aluminum is small, which is conducive to saving resources and protecting the environment.
