CNC machining is a game-changer in the contemporary, fast-paced manufacturing business. If you are working in aerospace, automotive, medical, or any other field that requires high-precision components, CNC should be your go-to option. Here are the reasons why MXYā€™s aluminum CNC machining parts should be your first choice in manufacturing. First of all, there is unparalleled precision and consistency. All the CNC machines are programmed to produce items to exact measurements, and no errors are to be expected. As a result, the highest degree of accuracy is achieved, eliminating errors and ensuring that your designs are flawlessly realized. In turn, this allows us to achieve consistent product quality with no or minimal defects. Secondly, CNC machines allow for faster production. Due to the lack of need for rest and round-the-clock operation while maintaining quality, project completion is significantly accelerated. Third, custom CNC machining parts allow for less costly manufacturing. Due to the highly precise cutting approaches, fewer raw materials are wasted, which saves money. Moreover, decreased manual involvement means less money is spent on labor, which reduces the cost to the client.

Precision and Accuracy
Exceptional Product Quality

CNC machining offers unmatched accuracy when producing all its components. At MXY, for instance, the software-programmed CNC machines are used to draft and cut the exact sizes and dimensions to reduce inaccuracy. Additionally, all constituents are processed similarly and cannot, therefore, lead to any inconsistency. These accurate dimensions eventually translate into quality, reducing the rate of defects in the final product.

Efficiency and Speed
Fast Turnaround Times

Custom CNC machining facilitates increased production speed and efficiency. Consequently, our CNC machines can run non-stop 24/7 without destroying quality. As such, our production potential is relatively high. Indeed, we get less downtime and more productivity, enabling us to meet large orders within tight deadlines.

Materials
Material Versatility

FAQ’s

There is an excellent balance of strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance in the 6061 aluminum alloy, which has a tensile strength of 45 ksi and a hardness of 95 HRB. Aluminum alloys have different strengths. Applications with high strength-to-weight ratios employ higher-strength alloys, such as 7075 (67ā€“78 ksi tensile strength). Overall, the qualities of aluminum make it a flexible option for a variety of CNC-machined components.

Generally, 7075 aluminum is the strongest aluminum alloy for CNC machining components because of its superior strength-to-weight ratio. Because of its exceptional toughness and tensile strengthā€”which matches certain lower-grade steels in hardnessā€”it finds extensive application in aerospace and military applications. Owing to its tensile strength, which ranges from 434 to 580 MPa, 7075-T6 is frequently selected for applications needing high strength. Despite having strong machinability, 7075 aluminum’s corrosion resistance is not as good as that of 6061 aluminum’s, but still better than that of 2024 aluminum. For high-stress applications where corrosion is not the main concern, this aluminum is appropriate.

In Aluminium CNC machining, aluminum material is chopped and shaped during CNC machining. This manufacturing method is subtractive.

On the other hand, forged aluminum is produced by heating and using compressive force to form the metal. It is a type of metalworking that strengthens the structure of aluminum.

To put it briefly, forging strengthens aluminum, whereas CNC machining focuses on shaping it.

Aluminum grades like 6061, 7075, and 2024 are commonly used to make aluminum CNC machining parts because they provide a good combination of strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance.

Indeed, aluminum In general, CNC machined parts are stronger than cast aluminum. More exact control over the production process is possible with CNC machining, which produces components with superior mechanical qualities and greater strength than cast aluminum, which can have strength variances because of the casting process.

Weldability, machinability, and strength are all well-balanced in 6061 aluminum, making it the ideal grade for aluminum machining. Being relatively easy to work with in comparison to other aluminum alloys, its T6 temper gives it exceptional strength and hardness, making it appropriate for a wide range of machining operations.

Aluminum CNC machined parts do not rust because aluminum forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to oxygen, which prevents further corrosion.
