FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers about aluminum CNC machining, material grades, finishes, and production requirements.

We commonly machine 6061, 7075, 2024, 5052, and 6082 aluminum, along with other grades based on project requirements.

6061 offers excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and cost efficiency, while 7075 provides higher strength and fatigue resistance for more demanding applications.

Yes. Aluminum parts can be anodized after machining to improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and appearance. Anodizing options can be selected based on functional and cosmetic requirements.

Typical CNC machining tolerances are ±0.01 mm, with tighter tolerances down to ±0.005 mm available for selected critical features depending on part geometry, size, material, and inspection requirements.

Yes. Material certificates can be provided upon request to confirm the aluminum grade and material specifications used for your parts. Please specify any certification or traceability requirements when requesting a quote.

Common finishes include anodizing, bead blasting, polishing, and as-machined finishes. Other finishing options may be available depending on functional and cosmetic requirements.
