Comparing aluminum alloys for aluminum machining

图片
CNC machining is a versatile manufacturing process that is applicable to a wide range of materials. However, the process is more commonly used in the manufacture of products using aluminum, known as aluminum machining. Aluminum machining is a process that involves the use of aluminum in the manufacture of products because aluminum comes in a variety of grades. Aluminum is highly machinable and relatively inexpensive, and the different types of aluminum alloys are suitable for a myriad of machining applications. This includes rigid building components, aerospace parts manufacturing, and more.   In fact, the different types of aluminum alloys offer some unique and distinct advantages when used for machining. They offer a wide range of options, providing you with tremendous flexibility when starting a machining project. However, narrowing down the best aluminum alloy for the job also becomes more difficult. This guide attempts to provide a quick comparison of the five most common mach...

Considerations when choosing between bar and plate aluminum

图片
    Considerations when choosing between bar and plate aluminum What should you consider before purchasing a material? Both bar and plate are highly machinable. They also have similar strength-to-weight ratios. But the following different aspects may affect the success of your project.   Edge conditions Bars are cut at the end only, usually with a band saw. The natural corners of square bar stock will have a small radius during extrusion and a linear grain on the side of the part perpendicular to the cut edge. The sheet can be cut to shape using a waterjet or band saw cut at all vertical edges. There are at least two parallel faces in the sheet that will not be touched. These are usually the top and bottom sides of the blank. When ordering material, it is important to consider stock tolerances for both natural and cut edges and to add enough material to properly machine the finished part.   Size Ranges Material dimensions affect the size of custom parts and the avail...

How to choose the right aluminum parts for your custom project

图片
There are countless options when selecting metal stock for professional-level CNC machining jobs , but the size, shape and grade of that stock will affect the end result. Professionals and hobbyists alike must understand these details in order to select the right material for their custom parts. Let's say you are sourcing raw materials to make a custom part. You are interested in 6061 aluminum. Aluminum 6061-T6 is one of the most common materials used in small batch manufacturing. It is used in many industries - aerospace, construction, etc. At Liangyin, you have nearly a dozen options for shapes, sizes, and cuts of this material. Bar and plate are the most common choices, and understanding the differences is a good place to start your next project.   Considerations when choosing between bar and plate aluminum What should you consider before purchasing a material? Both bar and plate are highly machinable. They also have similar strength-to-weight ratios. But the following diff...

How to choose the right surface finish for machined aluminum?

CNC machining is a traditional manufacturing process that uses a drill and turning tool to create parts by removing material from a solid block of material. The process is fast, repeatable and ideal for making parts with tight tolerances. CNC machining can be done with any material rigid enough - from plastic to metal to fiberglass - and aluminum is a popular choice among product teams.   Aluminum Grade Selection The first step in starting your CNC aluminum machining project is choosing the right metal alloy. Each grade has its own unique set of properties and characteristics, depending on your needs. When examining the properties of aluminum, you need to consider strength, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, or a combination of all of these. Two of the most common aluminum metals used in industry are 6061 and 7075 aluminum alloys. So, what is the difference between the two?   6061 Aluminum Properties 6061 is a common aluminum alloy produced through a heat treatment...

Can aluminum be used as a heat sink?

图片
Whether you’re designing computers, LED lighting, or other electronics, you need to think about heat sinks. Heat sinks absorb and dissipate the heat from these devices, helping to keep them cool. Today we’ll talk about some different types of heat sinks, how they’re made, and their applications. Generally, heat sinks are grouped by the manufacturing process used to create them, i.e. extruded, machined, etc. We will discuss 6 below. But, first, it’s important to understand that all heat sinks fall into two categories. The Two Major Heat Sink Categories All heat sinks can be broken down into two major categories… active and passive. What is the difference between active and passive heat sinks? Active Heat Sinks These generally have a fan or blower of some kind. The most common type is a ball bearing motor fan. These provide excellent performance, but they consist of moving parts and are on the expensive side. Passive Heat Sinks These have no mechanical components. They only use the conve...

Custom aluminum heatsink for LED with CNC machining in Foshan Factory
