How Do You Cut CNC Aluminum?
Because of its special properties, aluminum is widely used in CNC machining. However, the processing of aluminum parts presents several unique challenges. Here are some tips for cutting CNC aluminum:
Firstly, aluminum is prone to deformation due to its good plasticity. During machining, cutting forces and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) can easily cause the material to deform.
Secondly, aluminum’s high thermal conductivity often leads to elevated temperatures during processing, making it susceptible to burning.
Furthermore, the soft surface of aluminum parts tends to produce burrs, which can affect the final product quality.
Lastly, the sticky surface of aluminum can lead to tool jamming, further complicating the machining process.
To overcome these challenges, we need to take careful considerations to tool selection (including the right tool coating), cutting parameters (feed and speed rates), and cooling methods to ensure machining efficiency and accuracy.
