The CNC aluminum parts we manufacture have a wide range of applications in many fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What should we pay special attention to when processing CNC precision parts?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When processing CNC precision parts, there are some important precautions that require special attention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Design and drawing preparation:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure design drawings are accurate and contain all necessary dimensions, tolerances and surface requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design part shapes and structures rationally, considering limitations and challenges that may arise during processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">material selection:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose appropriate materials based on the function and requirements of the part. Different materials have different mechanical properties and processing characteristics, which need to be selected according to the actual situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Tool selection and cutting parameters:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Select appropriate tool types, tool sizes and cutting parameters based on material type, part shape and processing requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to the settings of parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting depth to ensure processing quality and tool life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Clamping and positioning:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the appropriate fixture and positioning method to ensure the stability and accuracy of the parts during processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid excessive or uneven clamping force, which may cause deformation or affect processing accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Processing sequence and process planning:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Properly plan the processing sequence to avoid increased difficulty in subsequent processing due to residual stress or deformation during processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the characteristics and requirements of the parts, select the appropriate processing technology, such as milling, drilling, thread processing, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Processing monitoring and quality inspection:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>During the machining process, the machining status is monitored in a timely manner and the cutting conditions and surface quality are observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carry out necessary dimensional measurements and surface inspections to ensure that the processing accuracy and quality meet the requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Tool management and maintenance:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Check and replace cutting tools regularly to maintain processing quality and tool life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to the cleaning, lubrication and storage of knives to prevent damage or rust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Safety Precautions:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Observe safe operating procedures and wear personal protective equipment to ensure the safety of operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that machine tools and equipment are in normal working order and perform regular maintenance and inspections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What three elements must be included in the CNC aluminum parts processing program?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The three elements of the CNC aluminum parts processing program include: design, processing technology and quality control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, design is the basis of the CNC aluminum parts machining program. Design factors include the shape, size, material, etc. of parts. During the design process, it is necessary to consider the functional requirements, assembly requirements and cooperation with other parts of the parts. The designer also needs to use CAD software for drawing to ensure the accuracy and feasibility of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, the machining process is the core of the CNC aluminum parts processing program. The machining process includes selecting appropriate machine tools, cutting tools, and cutting parameters. During the processing process, it is necessary to select the appropriate processing method according to the shape and material properties of the part, such as turning, milling, drilling, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to determine the processing parameters such as cutting speed, feed speed and cutting depth to ensure the accuracy and surface quality of the parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, quality control is an important part of the CNC aluminum parts machining procedure. Quality control includes inspection of raw materials, monitoring of processing and inspection of final products. During the processing, regular maintenance and upkeep of processing equipment is required to ensure its normal operation. At the same time, measuring tools need to be used to inspect the size and surface quality of the parts to ensure that the parts meet the design requirements. If problems are found, the processing technology needs to be adjusted in a timely manner to improve product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum up, the three elements of the CNC aluminum parts processing program include design, processing technology and quality control. These elements are interrelated and are indispensable. Only on the basis of doing well in these three aspects can high-quality CNC aluminum parts processing be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Cutting parameters for CNC machining of aluminum materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cutting parameters of CNC machining of aluminum mainly include cutting speed, feed speed and cutting depth. The selection of these parameters directly affects the processing quality and efficiency, so reasonable settings should be made based on the specific situation. Cutting speed: Cutting speed refers to the length of aluminum material cut by the cutting tool per unit time. For aluminum materials, the cutting speed is generally high, usually between 100-300m\/min. If the cutting speed is too low, the cutting force will increase and the tool wear will accelerate. If the cutting speed is too high, the surface roughness of the aluminum material will increase, and even burrs and other problems will occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Feed speed: The feed speed refers to the distance the cutting tool moves to the aluminum material per unit time. Feed speed is generally low, usually between 0.05-0.5mm\/r. If the feed rate is too low, the processing efficiency will be low, and if the feed rate is too high, the surface roughness of the aluminum material will increase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depth of cut: Depth of cut refers to the distance between the cutting tool and the surface of the aluminum material during each cut. The depth of cut should be determined based on the hardness of the aluminum, the size and material of the tool, and other factors. Generally speaking, the cutting depth should not be too large, so as not to cause a decrease in processing accuracy or accelerated tool wear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the cutting parameters for CNC machining of aluminum need to be reasonably set according to specific conditions to ensure processing efficiency and processing quality. When setting cutting parameters, the characteristics and processing requirements of aluminum should be fully considered, and continuous adjustments and optimizations should be made to improve processing efficiency and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">The precision of CNC machined parts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The precision of CNC machined aluminum parts can reach a very high level, often to a few microns (\u03bcm) or even smaller. Here are some common precision requirements for CNC machined aluminum parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Dimensional accuracy:CNC machining can achieve high dimensional accuracy, typically achieving tolerance requirements of \u00b10.01mm or less. This means that the dimensions of the machined part are very close to the dimensions on the design drawing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surface roughness:CNC machining can control the surface roughness of parts to meet specific requirements. Surface roughness Ra 0.8\u03bcm or less can usually be achieved, and sometimes even Ra 0.4\u03bcm or less can be achieved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parallelism and perpendicularity:CNC machining can ensure the parallelism and perpendicularity of parts and ensure that the relationship between the various surfaces of the parts meets the requirements. Parallelism and verticality requirements within 0.02mm can usually be achieved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aperture accuracy:CNC machining can achieve high-precision aperture processing, including drilling, reaming, etc. It is usually possible to achieve H7 level aperture accuracy, that is, the aperture is very close to the size required by the design.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that actual accuracy requirements depend on specific part design and processing requirements. Different materials, shapes and processing methods may affect accuracy. In addition, factors such as the performance of the machine tool, tool quality and processing environment also need to be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Application of CNC machining technology in aluminum alloy parts processing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Design and processing of parts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>CNC processing technology can be programmed according to the design requirements of the parts to process aluminum alloy parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Various complex-shaped parts, such as curved surface parts, aperture parts, etc., can be processed through CNC processing equipment to meet the needs of different industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Processing optimization<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>CNC machining technology can improve processing efficiency and quality through optimized processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By optimizing parameters such as cutting tools, cutting speed and feed speed, cutting time and cutting force can be reduced, and processing efficiency and surface quality of parts can be improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Inspection and measurement of parts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>CNC processing technology can detect and measure parts through the measuring device that comes with the processing equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size and shape of the parts can be monitored in real time through the measuring device, thereby ensuring the quality and accuracy of the parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Repair and modification of parts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>CNC processing technology can realize the repair and modification of aluminum alloy parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damaged parts can be repaired through CNC processing equipment, or old parts can be transformed, thereby improving the service life and performance of the parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What are the precision machining surface treatment methods of CNC aluminum products?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After precision machining of CNC aluminum products, in order to improve their <a href=\"https:\/\/mnwell.com\/surface-treatment\/\">surface quality and corrosion resistance, surface treatment<\/a> is required. Common surface treatment methods include anodizing, electrophoretic coating, sandblasting, polishing, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Anodizing: Anodizing is a common surface treatment method that can form a dense and uniform oxide film on the surface of aluminum products to improve the corrosion resistance and surface hardness of aluminum products. At the same time, anodizing can also change the color of aluminum products through dyeing and enhance their beauty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Electrophoretic coating: Electrophoretic coating is a method of attaching paint to the surface of aluminum products, which can form a uniform and dense coating to improve the corrosion resistance and surface quality of aluminum products. Different coatings can be used for electrophoretic coating, such as polyester, epoxy, acrylic, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sandblasting: Sandblasting is a method of mechanical surface processing. It can polish the surface of aluminum products by spraying abrasives at a high speed to remove surface burrs and stains, thereby improving its surface finish and aesthetics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Polishing: Polishing is a method of grinding and polishing the surface of aluminum products to remove surface burrs and stains and improve its surface finish and brightness. At the same time, polishing can also change the surface morphology and texture of aluminum products and enhance their aesthetics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, surface treatment is required after precision machining of CNC aluminum products to improve their surface quality and corrosion resistance. Common surface treatment methods include anodization, electrophoretic coating, sand blasting, polishing, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/mnwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u4f20\u52a8\u8f741.webp\" alt=\"custom cnc aluminum\" class=\"wp-image-3574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u4f20\u52a8\u8f741.webp 750w, https:\/\/mnwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u4f20\u52a8\u8f741-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/mnwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u4f20\u52a8\u8f741-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/mnwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u4f20\u52a8\u8f741-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/mnwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u4f20\u52a8\u8f741-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/mnwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u4f20\u52a8\u8f741-100x100.webp 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">The advantages and disadvantages of CNC aluminum parts processing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CNC machining is a method in which machine tools are controlled by a computer program for processing.

This process is fast, highly repeatable, and ideal for creating parts with tight tolerances. CNC machining can be done with any sufficiently rigid material\u2014from plastic to metal to fiberglass\u2014with aluminum being a popular choice for product teams.<br \/>Broadly speaking, aluminum is a strong, non-magnetic, cost-effective material that is highly resistant to corrosion. Here\u2019s everything engineers and designers should know about the most common aluminum types used for CNC machining, and how to choose the type that\u2019s best for their next project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.Aluminum 6061-T6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6061-T6 is one of the most popular aluminum alloys on the market and is used by most manufacturing companies as a standard grade for CNC machining. It is versatile and easy to process, and 6061 can even be heat treated differently.<br \/>6061-T6 is an excellent general-purpose material suitable for a variety of use cases. Although this material has a good strength-to-weight ratio, it is not suitable for high-stress applications. Common applications include automotive parts such as chassis, bicycle frames, valves, computer parts, and more.<br \/>Mechanical specifications:<br \/>Ultimate tensile strength: 310 MPa<br \/>Elongation at break: 17%<br \/>Modulus of elasticity: 68.9 GPa<br \/>Hardness: 60 HRB<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.Aluminum 7075-T6<br \/><\/strong><br \/>For high stress or high performance applications, engineers should consider 7075-T6. This grade of aluminum is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and its hardness can rival even some softer steels.<br \/>It is widely used in high stress applications in the aerospace and military industries. Common applications include aircraft parts, missile parts and fuse parts. Some performance bicycle and sporting goods products also include parts made from aluminum 7075-T6.<br \/>Although 7075-T6 has high strength and excellent mechanical properties, it also has its disadvantages. This material is less ductile and less corrosion-resistant than other grades. What\u2019s more, aluminum 7075-T6 may be too expensive for some product teams.<br \/>Mechanical specifications:<br \/>Ultimate tensile strength: 434 \u2013 580 MPa<br \/>Elongation at break: 10-15%<br \/>Modulus of elasticity: 69 \u2013 76 GPa<br \/>Hardness: 79-86 HRB<br \/>Maximum operating temperature: 100\u00b0C<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aluminum 2024-T4<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Aluminum 2024-T4 is a medium to high strength alloy with good fatigue resistance and fracture toughness. Aluminum 2024-T4 is not as strong as 7075-T6 but is still suitable for aerospace applications.<br \/>Common applications for aluminum 2024-T4 include aircraft fuselages, transport vehicle components and wing tension members. However, product teams should be aware that this grade of aluminum has poor corrosion resistance and is highly sensitive to thermal shock.<br \/>Mechanical specifications:<br \/>Ultimate tensile strength: 200 \u2013 540 MPa<br \/>Elongation at break: 14 \u2013 20%<br \/>Modulus of elasticity: 71 \u2013 73.1 GPa<br \/>Hardness: 70 \u2013 120 HB<br \/>Maximum operating temperature: 200 \u00b0C<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.Aluminum MIC 6<\/strong><br \/><strong><br \/><\/strong>Aluminum MIC 6 is unique because its specific combination of alloy and casting method was developed to produce stable, high-tolerance plates. MIC 6 offers impressive stress relief performance, outstanding precision and high machinability. Aluminum MIC 6 is also stain-free and non-porous. This sleek, lightweight option can be found in machined parts, electronics, and even laser technology.<br \/>One drawback is that MIC 6 threads are not as strong as threads made from 6061, and particularly thin threads can cause early thread failure. Product designers should keep this limitation in mind during the material selection phase.<br \/>Mechanical specifications:<br \/>Ultimate tensile strength: 166 MPa<br \/>Elongation at break: 3%<br \/>Modulus of elasticity: 71 GPa<br \/>Hardness: 65 HB<br \/>Maximum operating temperature: 427\u00b0C<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.Aluminum 6082<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aluminum 6082 has similar properties to Aluminum 6061; however, 6082 has slightly higher tensile strength. Additionally, this type of aluminum has the highest strength of all 6000 series alloys and is very resistant to corrosion.

For the mass production of mobile phone casings, the use of CNC precision machining methods may lead to excessive costs and uncompetitiveness.<br \/>Low processing efficiency: CNC precision processing is usually a point-by-point or line-by-line processing method. For large-area mobile phone casings, the processing efficiency is relatively low. Mobile phone casings usually need to be mass-produced in a short time, so higher processing efficiency is required.<br \/>Material waste: CNC precision machining usually requires the entire workpiece to be fixed on a fixture before processing, and then processed point by point or line by line through the tool. For large-area workpieces such as mobile phone casings, using CNC precision machining methods may lead to a lot of material waste.<br \/>Surface treatment limitations: CNC precision machining usually cannot meet the special requirements of the surface of the mobile phone casing, such as smoothness, texture, anti-fingerprint coating, etc. Traditional injection molding, die-casting and other processing methods can better meet these requirements.<br \/>Complexity limitations: CNC precision machining has better processing results for parts with complex shapes and structures. However, for workpieces with large areas and many curves such as mobile phone casings, there may be processing difficulties and limitations.<br \/>In summary, although CNC precision machining has advantages in some areas, in terms of mobile phone casing processing, it is usually not the first choice due to factors such as high cost, low processing efficiency, material waste, surface treatment limitations, and complexity limitations. Way. In contrast, traditional processing methods such as injection molding and die-casting are more suitable for the mass production of mobile phone casings.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1699175728392\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why should we choose the appropriate cutting fluid when CNC precision machining aluminum alloy?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>When precision CNC machining of aluminum alloys, it is very important to select the appropriate cutting fluid. Here are several commonly used cutting fluid types:<br \/>Water-soluble cutting fluid: Water-soluble cutting fluid is a common type of cutting fluid that is made of water mixed with additives. It has good cooling and lubrication properties, which can effectively reduce the processing temperature, extend tool life, and improve surface quality. For precision CNC machining of aluminum alloys, it is better to choose a water-soluble cutting fluid that contains anti-corrosion and antioxidants.<br \/>High-Performance Cutting Fluids: High-performance cutting fluids are typically synthetic liquids that provide excellent cooling, lubrication, and rust-preventive properties. They are able to provide higher cutting speeds and longer tool life while maintaining lower processing temperatures. For high-speed, high-precision precision CNC machining of aluminum alloys, using high-performance cutting fluid can achieve better processing results.<br \/>Dry machining: Dry machining means that no cutting fluid is used during the machining process, but cooling and lubrication are carried out by air or other means. Dry machining can reduce the use and disposal costs of cutting fluid while avoiding the impact of cutting fluid on the environment. However, dry machining may cause problems such as excessive processing temperatures and accelerated tool wear for precision CNC machining of aluminum alloys, so evaluation and selection need to be made based on the specific situation.<br \/>When choosing a cutting fluid, in addition to considering its performance characteristics, you should also pay attention to factors such as compatibility with aluminum alloys, environmental friendliness, and operating safety. The best cutting fluid selection should be evaluated based on comprehensive factors such as specific machining requirements, equipment conditions, and material properties, and should follow relevant safe operating procedures and regulations.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1699175814971\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">The difference between CNC professional processing and precision mechanical parts processing<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>CNC professional machining and precision mechanical parts processing are two different concepts, and there are some differences in scope, requirements and technology.
