Aluminium CNC Machining: Alloys and Material Selection

EN AW Alloys, Properties and Applications

We specialise in precision aluminium CNC machining for the automotive, aerospace, defence, electronics, pneumatics and marine sectors. We select the alloy grade for the required strength, corrosion resistance, weldability and dimensional stability of the component.

Industries and Applications of Aluminium Alloys

Aerospace and automotive

In aerospace, aluminium is used for structural components, brackets and housings, especially in grades 7075 (7075-T6 aerospace brackets) and 2024. In automotive applications, we machine engine mounts, suspension components and chassis parts. The very high strength of alloy 7075 and the structural versatility of alloy 6082 suit applications with high mechanical requirements.

Marine industry and offshore

For ship structures, tanks and offshore equipment, we select alloys 5083 (PA13, PERALUMAN®-460) and 5754 (PA11) with exceptional resistance to marine corrosion and very good weldability. We make offshore structural components.

Pneumatics, hydraulics and optoelectronics

We mill blocks, hydraulic and pneumatic manifolds, valve blocks and flanges from aluminium. For optoelectronics and electronics, we make housings, precision optomechanical mounts, anodised guides, heat sinks and cooling plates.

Medical, mould and tooling industries

For the medical sector, we machine equipment frames, guides and housings. For mould and tooling applications, we use special precision plates: Certal®, Formodal® 023, Mic6®. They serve as tooling bases for injection moulds, dies, fixtures and assembly jigs. The dimensional stability of precision plates is key to process repeatability.

How to Select an Aluminium Alloy for a Component

Alloy selection should be based on the part requirements:

  • Strength and weight: 7075 or 2024 for high mechanical requirements
  • Corrosion resistance and weldability: 5083, 5754 or 6082
  • Dimensional stability of plates: Certal, Formodal, Mic6 and other precision plates described above

Frequently Asked Questions about Aluminium

Anodising is an electrochemical process that creates an oxide layer on the surface of aluminium. At Anbi-Tech, we coordinate anodising and hard anodising with partners. The finish parameters and colour are selected for the component requirements.

Aluminium and titanium are selected according to the component requirements. Aluminium has a density of approximately 2.7 g/cm³ and titanium approximately 4.5 g/cm³. Titanium is considered where a high strength-to-weight ratio, service at elevated temperature or corrosion resistance is important.

We work with the SolidWorks, Edgecam and SigmaNest CAD/CAM systems.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Anbi-Tech as a reliable and professional partner in machining and in manufacturing parts for the pharmaceutical industry. This is the third company where I have had the pleasure of working with Anbi-Tech, and the cooperation has been of the highest standard every time.

The pharmaceutical industry is exceptionally demanding: precision, on-time delivery, material quality and a full understanding of the customer’s needs all matter. Anbi-Tech has repeatedly proved that it is very well suited to this environment. The company has manufactured change parts, spare parts, filling needles, conveyor screws, components for dispensing powders and liquids, and many other production components for us.

The quality of the parts deserves particular recognition, whether they are made from 316L and 304 stainless steel or plastics such as POM, polyurethane and polycarbonate. The components are manufactured to a very high standard, with close attention to accuracy and detail, which is crucial in our industry.

Anbi-Tech has literally ‘saved our skin’ on many occasions in emergencies where time, a rapid response and a flexible approach to the customer mattered. A major strength of the company is its modern machinery, which enables it to complete even highly demanding projects while maintaining the highest standard of workmanship.

The people are equally important: the company’s staff always show complete commitment and a willingness to cooperate and provide technical support. Their extensive experience, professionalism and collaborative approach to customers are clear to see.

In pharmaceuticals, the ‘paperwork’, meaning certificates, is also important. The certificates have never been questioned during customer or regulatory audits, for example by GIF.

I strongly recommend working with Anbi-Tech to any company looking for a proven, reliable and quality-focused technical partner.

Dariusz Stachowicz, Senior Maintenance Manager, Polfa Warszawa S.A.

We had a very good experience working with Anbi-Tech on a new production line project for a bottling plant. Using a bottle sample and components from the old line, its engineer prepared the design and documentation for new change parts in SolidWorks. Anbi-Tech then manufactured timing screws, star wheels, drive components, bottle orienters, bottle turners and feeding components, among other items.

A major advantage is the end-to-end approach, from analysis and design through to the manufacture of finished components. Their considerable technical experience, precision and ability to solve unusual problems are clear. I recommend them.

Bartłomiej Ć, Specialist, ORLEN

We work with Anbi-Tech to manufacture parts and technical components for our projects. We value them above all for their workmanship, on-time delivery and excellent communication. When requirements are unusual, they can advise us and find a solution instead of simply manufacturing a part from a drawing. A reliable partner that I am happy to recommend.

Marek P., Production Manager, Triccor

A reliable company with extensive experience! They manufacture parts from steel, aluminium and specialist plastics such as POM and PTFE. Every service, whether turning, milling or CNC cutting, is carried out perfectly and with attention to the smallest detail. Excellent communication, professional advice and consistently on-time delivery. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs reliable components.
