Processing Techniques for Aluminum Parts

Time : 2024-10-14

CNC Machining: Also known as computer numerical control (CNC) machining, this is the most efficient way of fabricating complex shaped aluminum parts. This technique entails building parts and components using machine tools that are operated or controlled using a computer in order to follow every little detail of the part being manufactured. CNC machining is exceptionally repeatable and accurate with respect to tolerances, thus appropriate and more efficient for mass production.

Die Casting: A casting process in which molten metal is forced under pressure into a steel die or mold. This method is effective for mass production of finely detailed and dimensionally consistent aluminium parts. It is effective and can produce aluminum parts that have thin sections and fine surface finishing.

Sand Casting: It is the oldest method in which molten aluminum is poured into a mold made of sand. It is not as accurate or rapid as die casting but is still sufficient for the manufacture of specialized or one-off aluminum parts. There are fewer constraints to sand casting as regards the part dimensions and complexity.

Extrusion: This is a procedure whereby aluminum is first heated before being pushed through a die to produce long, straight even sections with the same cross section configuration. This method is also preferred in the production of structural members like beam, rods and tubes.

Powder Coating: In order to enhance the aesthetics as well as protect aluminum parts, powder coating, which is a type of surface technology, is employed. This is done by applying a dry powder on the surface of the part, which is then setting on an oven. The benefit of powder coating is that it offers great strength and protection from abrasion, chemicals, and even sunlight.

Anodizing: This is a process that adds a layer of oxide on the surface of aluminum parts through electrochemical activity. This method improves the toughness and resistance to damage of the parts but also permits the use of dyes. As the surface is anodized, it appears silo and thus is only used in the construction industry.
