Is Aluminum Machining Parts Easy?
A general term for aluminum-based alloys. The main alloying elements are Cu, Si, Mg, Sn, and the minor elements are nickel, titanium, chromium, lithium, etc. Aluminum alloys have low density, good plasticity and can be processed into molded materials. They have excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The alloy formed by adding certain elements can maintain the advantages of pure aluminum’s light weight while also having high strength. This makes its “spe
Seven Factors Affecting Custom CNC Parts
One day we received an inquiry from a buyer (Mr. A) on tuofa-cncmaching.com. As usual, we asked the buyer’s basic information and obtained the 2D/3D drawings of the parts (pdf, dwg, stp, step format, etc.) from the buyer according to the buyer’s inquiry content. The drawings usually include the part name, size, material, tolerance, quantity and surface treatment, etc. If the buyer does not indicate all the information in the drawing, we need to take the initiative to contact the buyer to confir
CNC Turning and Milling Service Online Customization of CNC Parts
Composite machining (HEM-HSM/combined machining/combined machining) is one of the most popular machining technologies in the field of international mechanical machining. It is an advanced manufacturing technology. Composite machining is the realization of multiple different machining processes on one machine. The most widely used and most difficult composite machining is turning and milling composite machining. The turning and milling composite machining center is equivalent to the composite of
Difference Between Electroplating and Anodizing
Usually, the surface treatment of metal alloys will choose electroplating or anodizing. What is the difference between these two processes? As a product designer, you should understand the limitations of different processes, so the key points are mentioned above: Aluminum alloy surface treatment is usually anodizing, which is not suitable for electroplating. The common surface treatment of zinc alloy die castings is electroplating, which is not suitable for anodizing. Aluminum alloy die casti
Why Do We Use Cutting Fluid in CNC Machining?
During CNC machining, I have seen that when cutting, the nozzle next to it will spray out a liquid like oil. In fact, this liquid is cutting fluid. Machining oil is one of them. Cutting fluid is a lubricant used on CNC machine tools. It has the functions of lubrication, cooling, cleaning, etc., so cutting fluid plays a very important role in the automated processing of CNC machine tools.
Hard Anodizing and Its Benefits for Aluminum Parts
Aluminum alloy is a relatively soft metal among various alloys. Due to its light weight, aluminum alloy is very suitable for machining. Although it has the advantages of light weight and easy machining, it is difficult to use for mechanical parts that require high strength. This is why we use hard anodizing coating to strengthen aluminum metal. This process improves hardness and corrosion resistance. And this effect can be properly controlled. Therefore, the application of aluminum alloy can als
