cnc milling parts aluminum machining

• Aluminum is light; its density is only one-third that of steel. • Aluminum is resistant to weather, common atmospheric gases, and a wide range of liquids. • Aluminum can be used in contact with a wide range of foodstuffs. • Aluminum has a high reflectivity and, as a result, is employed in a number of decorative applications. • Aluminum alloys can equal or even exceed the strength of normal construction steel. • Aluminum has high elasticity, which is an advantage in structures under shock loads. • Aluminum keeps its toughness down to very low temperatures, without becoming brittle like carbon steels. • Aluminum is easily worked and formed; it can be rolled to very thin gauges. • Aluminum conducts electricity and heat nearly as well as copper.
