Why Aluminum Is Commonly Machined
Aluminum is used across many mechanical applications and is available in multiple alloys with different strength, corrosion and machining characteristics.
6061 and 7075 Aluminum
Two commonly specified aluminum alloys are 6061 and 7075. The correct choice depends on the design, strength requirements, environment and cost.
What to Include in an Aluminum Machining RFQ
Send the drawing or CAD file, alloy, quantity, critical dimensions, finish requirements and any secondary operations.
Prototype and Production Aluminum Parts
Aluminum can be suitable for prototypes, one-off components, replacement parts and repeat production work.
