CNC vs cast Aluminum - Which Should You Use

There is a lot of confusion surrounding the difference between cast aluminum and CNC aluminum. Some people don't even know which one they should choose and why. This article will save you time while finding the answer 〞 so stick around

The main difference between CNC aluminum and traditional cast aluminum is that CNC machining produces a more accurate, precise product. It's also much faster than casting, which gives it an edge over traditional casting in several ways

1) Casting requires multiple steps and a lot of work to produce the finished product. By contrast, CNC machining can be completed in just one step with no additional work required after milling out the part. This means more time for other aspects of your business cycle, like marketing your product or getting more orders from customers who like what you're doing

2) Casting may not be as strong as some other methods of creating an aluminum part because it doesn't require any additional strength-enhancing finishing processes on top of the raw material itself. CNC machining produces extremely strong aluminum parts because alloys are used during production that have been processed through an additional process called hardening or annealing. This process hardens the alloy even further than normal production processes so that it's

CNC Aluminum Machining

Aluminum is one of the most common metal materials to produce components for various fields, almost all fields. Also, CNC aluminum machining is a very common process for aluminum parts.

Aluminum is very easy for machining process because the material is soft and shaping keeper, it is suitable for many different production facilities, such as machining, extrusion, stamp, casting, etc.

With its good thermal conductivity and excellent shaping feature, temperature devices and electricity device and other industries are commonly using aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has many different materials codes to support wider demands.

Benefits of CNC Aluminum Machining

1/ Aluminum material is soft for machining, easy for CNC machining to carry out desired shapes

2/ CNC machining aluminum parts are durable for long term using, high resistance than steel series

3/ CNC machining aluminum parts are flexible to apply many kinds of surface finishing treatments

4/ CNC machining aluminum is good resistance against low temperature, which benefits for winter products

5/ Aluminum materials can be produced by many process, for example, forging, extrusion, stamp, casting, fabrication, etc.

6/ It is basically environmental material and supporting recycle collecting, material renewal benefits the burden of world
