Types of Aluminum Used in CNC Machining
In CNC machining, aluminum often appears in various alloy forms to meet various industrial needs. The following are the most commonly used aluminum alloys in CNC machining:
Cast Aluminum Alloys
The casting process involves pouring molten aluminum into a mold and cooling it into shape. These alloys are affordable, versatile, lightweight, durable, and perform well at high temperatures. The automotive industry is the largest user of cast alloys, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the aluminum used in vehicles. Common components include engine components, housings, and steering columns. Cast alloys are less expensive to produce, and mold flexibility allows for a wide variety of shapes. However, they tend to have lower tensile strength than wrought alloys, making them more difficult to machine and more resistant to wear from cutting tools.
Aluminum-Lithium (Al-Li) Alloys
Because lithium is the lowest-density metallic element, these alloys are significantly lighter than pure aluminum or other materials. Al-Li alloys are primarily used in the aerospace industry for lower wing skins, inner wing structures, fuselages, and fan blades. While Al-Li alloys offer weight advantages, they suffer from lower machinability and weaker fracture toughness (the ability to resist crack propagation). Production volumes of these alloys are relatively small, leading to higher prices.
Wrought Aluminum Alloys Wrought alloys are formed in the solid state by forming molten aluminum into billets or slabs, then using tools to roll, forge, stamp, or extrude. These alloys are the most widely used materials in aluminum CNC machining because they offer superior mechanical properties and structural integrity to cast alloys. Wrought alloys are easier to machine, produce a smoother surface finish, and wear less on the cutting tool's edge.

CNC Machining of Steel and Aluminum
Aluminum and steel are the most widely used metals in CNC machining. Choosing the right material for a specific application comes down to the following five factors:
Cost
Mild and carbon steel are generally less expensive than aluminum alloys, while stainless steel tends to be more expensive. However, metal prices are influenced by global demand, raw material, energy, and transportation costs. When considering cost, it's also important to consider the material's durability. Short-term savings may result in higher expenses in the long term.

Corrosion Resistance
Both aluminum and stainless steel offer good resistance to rust and corrosion, but stainless steel is more expensive. Manufacturers or end users may need to paint, treat, or coat other types of steel to protect the finished product, especially when exposed to environmental conditions. These coatings not only add weight and cost, but also require regular reapplication, increasing maintenance expenses.

Weight
Aluminum is two to three times heavier than steel. Almost every company seeks to achieve the same or better product performance while using lighter materials. This"lightweighting"trend has led many component manufacturers to choose aluminum over steel.

Strength
While steel is heavier than aluminum, this makes it a more durable material. Steel is very strong and does not easily warp, bend, or deform under force, heat, or weight. Furthermore, aluminum's surface is more susceptible to scratches and dents.

Machinability
Aluminum's lower density than steel allows it to be machined three to four times faster. Aluminum also cools faster than steel, reducing the time required to machine a part (cycle time) and the amount of coolant required. Compared to steel, aluminum requires significantly less cutting force, reducing wear on cutting tools and helping to maintain tool sharpness. Furthermore, aluminum machining can be performed on smaller, less expensive machines.
