About Aluminum Material
Aluminum is the preferred metal for CNC machining, particularly 6061 aluminum, due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, low cost, recyclability, and machinability. At GCH Process, we offer precision machining with multiple aluminum alloys to meet diverse industry needs.
Aluminum Alloys We Work With:
- Aluminium 6061: Highly versatile, corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic, and heat treatable.
- Aluminium 7075: Known for high strength, suitable for high-stress applications, corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic, and heat treatable.
- 7050 Aluminum: Ideal for high-stress corrosion-resistant applications, heat treatable, non-magnetic.
- 2024 Aluminium: Offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, heat treatable, non-magnetic.
- Aluminium 5052: Easily weldable, exceptionally corrosion-resistant, formable, heat treatable, non-magnetic.
- Aluminium 6063: Known for high corrosion resistance and formability, used in structural applications, heat treatable, non-magnetic.
- MIC6 Aluminium: Stress-relieved cast aluminum, great for tight tolerance applications, non-magnetic, not heat treatable.

What Aluminum Grade Should Be Used?
- Aluminum 2024: Known for high hardness, primarily used in aviation.
- Aluminum 5052: Features low density, high tensile strength, and high elongation, suitable for bending and welding.
- Aluminum 6061: Contains magnesium and silicon, combining the advantages of 4000 and 5000 series aluminum, suitable for high corrosion and oxidation resistance applications.
- Aluminum 6063: Commonly used as an architectural alloy for industrial structural parts requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.
- Aluminum 7075: Known as “super hard aluminum,” ideal for highly stressed parts in aerospace and manufacturing high-stress structures.
Types of CNC Machining Aluminum Processes
At GCH Process, we utilize various CNC aluminum machining processes to produce fully-finished products in diverse shapes and sizes:
- External CNCs: Used for processes requiring close tolerances or high speed.
- Internal CNCs: Feature an offset tooling system allowing for more complex features like blind holes and screw bosses.
- 3/4/5-axis machines: Offer advanced capabilities with horizontal and vertical spindle axes for complex workpieces with multiple geometries.
Cost of CNC Aluminum Machining
The cost of aluminum machining depends on material, product size, complexity, and machine selection.
- Coûts des matériaux: Aluminum 6061 costs $25 per block, Aluminum 7075 costs $80 per block.
- Coûts de main-d'œuvre: $20 per hour for 3-axis machining, $30 per hour for 4-axis, $50 per hour for 5-axis.
Alternatives to Aluminum Material for CNC Machining
- Steel & Stainless Steel: Offer higher strength and temperature resistance.
- Titane: Provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, though more costly.
- Laiton: Suitable for aesthetic applications, albeit at a higher cost.
- Cuivre: Offers superior electrical conductivity, though less machinable than aluminum.
