About the material
Aluminum is one of the most commonly used metals in the world because it is relatively easy to machine, making it great for CNC machining, and becoming a good choice for many industries.
Aluminum has excellent properties for machining such as:
- Excellent machinability
- Low cost
- Low weight
- Overall versatility
- High strength
- Hardness
- Heat tolerance
- Electrical conductivity
- Corrosion resistance

Aluminum Alloys for CNC Machining
The most common aluminum alloys AT-Machining used for cnc milling or cnc turning are 6061 and 7075.
Both alloys have unique benefits that make them well-suited for different applications. It is important to choose the right alloy for the specific needs of a project.
Aluminum 6061 is known for its low cost, versatility, and excellent corrosion resistance. It is also easy to weld and machine, making it a good choice for many projects. Anodizing provides excellent protection against corrosion and gives 6061 aluminum a superior appearance.
Aluminum 7075 is prized for its high strength and hardness, making it an ideal choice for products that must withstand high loads or extensive wear and tear. 7075 aluminum is also low in weight and resistant to corrosion. Anodizing can further improve the corrosion resistance of 7075 aluminum and give it an attractive appearance.

CNC Machined Aluminum Applications
Aluminum parts can be found everywhere, in a range of industries, especially automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment and machinery, and consumer and computer electronics.
- Automotive parts (light-weighting provides high strength-to-weight ratio)
- Housing, brackets, and other components for aerospace use that must support heavy load capacities but be light weight
- Fixtures, calipers, and a variety of other parts for industrial equipment
- Enclosures, panels, consoles, knobs, housing, and other applications for consumer and computer electronics
Surface Finishes For CNC Machined Aluminum Parts
Many types of surface finishes can be applied to CNC machined aluminum parts. The most common finishes AT-Machining provides are anodizing, powder coating, bead blast and plating. Each of these finishes has unique benefits. Choose the one best suits your needs!
| Name | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 | As machined | The machined aluminum parts are left with visible tool marks and potentially sharp edges and burrs, which can be removed upon request. | |
 | Bead Blasted | Give the machined parts a smooth and uniform matte surface finish, thereby removing tool marks. | |
 | Polishing | Creating a smooth and shiny surface by manually polishing in multiple directions or by applying a chemical polish treatment. | |
 | Anodizing | Type II (Anodizing color or clear) or Type III (Anodizing hard coat) Anodizing does not cover tool marks unless bead blasted beforehand. | |
 | Chromate Conversion Coating | Increase the part's corrosion resistance while retaining its conductivity. RoHS compliant. | |
 | Decorative Chrome Plating | Enhance aesthetics and durability of the cnc aluminum components. | |
 | Powder Coat | Applying powdered paint to the components and then baking it in an oven, which results in a stronger, more wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than traditional painting methods. | |

CNC Machining Aluminum FAQs
Do you have a minimum order quantity?
NO! – No minimum quantity! AT Machining provides prototypes and short to medium-run production machining services.
What type of design files does AT Machining accept for quoting?
For the 3D drawing, we would prefer STEP, IGES, or X_T format. For the 2D drawing, we would prefer PDF format there are tolerances with the dimensions if possible.
How can I pay AT Machining?
AT Machining accepts payment in two ways: 1. Bank to bank wire transfer 2. PayPal
What general tolerances can AT Machining achieve?
General Machining Tolerances on metal to +/- 0.005" (+/- 0.127 mm) following ISO 2768 unless otherwise specified. Plastics and composites will be +/- 0.010”(+/- 0.254 mm).
What precision tolerances can AT Machining achieve?
Precision Machining Tolerances down to ±.0002" (0.005mm). AT can manufacture and inspect to tight tolerances per your drawing specifications.
How quickly can I get my parts?
Lead times are 2 to 3 weeks for prototypes and 4 weeks for production runs. Emergency and rush services are available.
