High-performance aluminum alloy machining services: material properties, design recommendations, surface treatment and application

 

Aluminum alloy is a high-strength, lightweight, high-quality metal material that is widely used in the manufacture of various product prototypes and parts. In particular, 6061 and 7075 aluminum alloys are favored by industrial users for their excellent mechanical properties and processing convenience. 6061 aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance and weldability, suitable for medium-strength mechanical structural parts; while 7075 aluminum alloy is often used in aerospace and high-load environment parts manufacturing due to its high strength, wear resistance and fatigue resistance.

 

Machining Technology

Aluminum alloys are suitable for a variety of CNC processing processes, including 3-axis and 5-axis milling, drilling and turning. Through precise CNC processing technology, we are able to meet the high-precision requirements of complex designs and ensure stable quality and tight tolerance control. According to the user's product requirements, different design components can be optimized to ensure the mechanical properties and service life of the finished product.

 

Product Design Recommendations

In the design of aluminum alloy products, it is recommended to choose reasonable wall thickness, reinforcement ribs and transition fillets to improve structural stability and reduce overall weight. In addition, the appropriate type of aluminum alloy can be selected according to the load requirements of the parts. For example, 6061 is suitable for frames and supports that bear medium loads, and 7075 is more suitable for high-load parts that require high strength and durability.

 

Surface treatment process and color selection

The surface of aluminum alloy products can be treated by anodizing, electroplating, spraying and polishing. Anodizing is a common surface treatment method that not only enhances corrosion resistance, but also gives the product a variety of color options, such as silver, black, gold, blue and red, to meet different appearance requirements. Surface treatment can also improve wear resistance, so that the product can still maintain a good service life in harsh environments.

 

Delivery time and price

The machining of aluminum alloy prototypes and parts is usually delivered within 3-7 working days, and the specific delivery time depends on the complexity of the product and the surface treatment requirements. In terms of price, it varies according to different alloy models, product size, complexity and the choice of surface treatment process. We provide competitive quotations to meet the customized needs of various industries with high cost performance.

 

Application industry

The high performance characteristics of aluminum alloy make it widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronic equipment, medical equipment and industrial machinery. Its light weight, high strength and excellent machining performance make it an ideal choice for the manufacture of various product prototypes and high-demand parts.

By providing you with high-quality aluminum alloy cnc processing services, we are committed to helping customers achieve excellent product design and fast delivery, and safeguarding the market competitiveness of your products.

Comparison of aluminum alloys 6061 and 7075

Aluminum alloys 6061 and 7075 are both widely used but cater to different needs. 6061 aluminum o7075 aluminum, however, is prized for its superior tensile strength and fatigue resistance, ideal for high-stress uses like aerospace, military, and performance gear. While 6061 is favored for balanced strength and ease of use, 7075 is the go-to for demanding environments where maximum durability is essential.
