Problems Needing Attention During CNC Machining Of Aluminum Part

There are many products and materials for CNC machining and the aluminum parts are one of the mostly machined. When CNC machining is used for aluminum parts, if you want to ensure more stable machining dimensions, you have to pay attention to these aspects.

  1. Tool state. The machining stability largely depends on the state of the tool. Before machining, we should turn on the equipment after we check the tool.
  2. Material cooling. The workpiece might deform after cooling. The situation can not be avoided and at this time, we should pay attention to the use of cooling liquid. We should also consider the possibility of material deformation at the time of in-place measurement.
  3. Machining process. When the machining technology is unreasonable, the dimension error of workpiece can be easily caused. We should guarantee the basic machining process (rough first and then precise, surface first and then hole, big surface first and then small surface or the basic machining process details such as “reduce clamping times and adopt combination fixture as much as possible” in the fixture use), and we should reduce the machining error caused by iron dust on aluminum parts.
  4. Parameter setting. These cutting elements such as cutting speed, load, cutting depth and cutter compensation will influence the stability of machining, so we should pay extra attention.
  5. Tool selection. At the time of machining aluminum parts, we should use special cutter as much as possible,These cutters tend to be pertinent. For example, special milling cutter for milling aluminum is usually having bigger rake and helical angle and the cutting tool will be more sharp and more prone to aluminum machining (such as anti-built-up edge), the surface quality after machining will be better.
  6. Stress aspects. The aluminum materials is soft, therefore we need extra clamping strength. On the other hand, during machining, we should go on to next process after stewing the material for a while after the aluminum part is finished to eliminate stress.

In addition, the aluminum parts should also pay attention to chip removal and the use amount of cutting liquid during machining. There are many factors influencing the machining stability of the aluminum parts, therefore, we should face this flexibly during machining and analyze specifically. Stable tool, reasonable machining process and tool and the technological level of the operator are elements influencing product quality.

Tip: How To Reduce The Cost Of CNC Machined Aluminium Parts

CNC machining is also called mechanical machining, machining and is the final parts or product shape shaped out of raw materials by CNC machining center. For 11 years, Siedery focuses on parts machining and accumulates abundant machining experience on machining parts by CNC. At the time of CNC machining parts, we usually follow the principles below, which can lower the cost.

  1. Rough first and then finish machining, which can ensure precision and brightness;
  2. Surface first and then hole;
  3. For hole position, we should choose milling, and choose drilling if milling is impossible. If It can be done at once on the CNC machining center, which can reduce the error of the repeated clamping time and positioning;
  4. Cavity products, machine internal cavity and then appearance;
  5. Different sequence of work procedures and the diameter of the machining tool will be different from big to small;
  6. Put the same fixture and jig together, which can reduce cost making fixture and time for repeated clamping;
  7. For thin products, rough first and then machine and then finish machining after a while, which can reduce deformation;
  8. For products subject to heat treatment, rough first and then subject to heat treatment using the remaining heat and then finish machining;
  9. Products that needs surface treatment (), there should be remaining heat during machining based on corresponding surface treatment to reach the dimension requirements of customers after ensuring surface treatment;
  10. Parameters setting follow the principle of main and subsidiary;

CNC machining parts involves many materials and many processes, therefore, we will encounter various problems during processing, and only when you accumulates certain experience, you can deal with it calmly. The engineer teams of Siedery have 11 years of CNC machining parts, good at machine complex and multi-surface products and dare to challenge things other people dare not do!
