CNC Aluminum Alloy Machining
Characteristics & Function:
- Aluminum is light; its density is only one-third that of steel.
- Aluminum is resistant to weather, common atmospheric gases, and a wide range of liquids.
- Aluminum can be used in contact with a wide range of foodstuffs.
- Aluminum has a high reflectivity and, as a result, is employed in a number of decorative applications.
- Aluminum alloys can equal or even exceed the strength of normal construction steel.
- Aluminum has high elasticity, which is an advantage in structures under shock loads.
- Aluminum keeps its toughness down to very low temperatures, without becoming brittle like carbon steels.
- Aluminum is easily worked and formed; it can be rolled to very thin gauges.
- Aluminum conducts electricity and heat nearly as well as copper.
