Can Aluminum Alloy Be Machined? Why Is It So Widely Used?
Aluminum alloy is highly suitable for CNC machining and is one of the most commonly used materials for precision parts.

With its low density, high strength, and excellent machinability, aluminum performs well in both turning and milling processes, achieving an ideal balance between efficiency and precision.

Advantages of Aluminum Alloy Machining

• Ideal for lightweight components such as housings, structural parts, and heat sinks

• CNC machining achieves micron-level precision with stable dimensions

• Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, widely used in electronics and industrial applications

• Compatible with anodizing, sandblasting, painting, and other surface treatments

With proper spindle speed, tooling, and cooling conditions, aluminum alloy machining is not only fast but also maintains high-quality results.
