Aluminum Machining Capabilities of Penas

The following aluminum CNC machining service capabilities that we have developed over the years make us popular.

● CNC Turning: CNC turning forms the centerpiece of our aluminum CNC machining services. At our facility, we utilize various types of CNC turning machines from brands such as HAAS, Leadwell, and Taksawa. We specialize in contour turning, straight turning, taper turning, live tooling, threading, and hexing. Our advanced CNC turning capabilities allow us to achieve high tolerances up to ± 0.0005, with diameters up to 2.5" (bar feed).

● CNC Milling: We provide a wide range of CNC milling services such as drilling, decking, facing, profiling, and slitting. Owing to our advanced CNC milling services, we have been working on projects that demand pocketing, reaming, counterboring, and thread milling. We can achieve milled tolerances up to ± .001".

● Precision CNC Machining: At Penas, we provide precision CNC machining services, which allow us to create high quality and on-demand aluminum machined parts. We use advanced CNC machines with features such as live tooling, Master CAM, CNC control, bar feeders, and off-line programming.

Types of Aluminum Grades We Machine

At Penas, we regularly machine the following aluminum grades to produce CNC machined aluminum parts.

● Aluminum 6063: Created by alloying silicon and magnesium, this aluminum grade possesses excellent mechanical properties. This grade can be welded easily, and is often welded using tungsten inert gas welding. Aluminum 6063 is widely used for architectural applications like door frames, roofs, window frames, and so on.

● Aluminum 6061: This alloy is made of magnesium and silicon, and offers excellent machinability, which makes it a popular choice for several commercial and industrial applications. Aluminum 6061 offers excellent corrosion resistance, medium to high strength, excellent durability, and easy anodization. Owing to all these properties, aluminum 6603 is one of the most common extruded grades after Aluminum 6063.

● Aluminum 5052: It is one of the strongest aluminum alloys made of chromium and magnesium. The presence of chromium accentuates its corrosion resistance properties, which is why it is widely considered for marine applications. Aluminum 5052 assures excellent workability, too.

● Aluminum 7075: This alloy is mainly employed for high-stress applications. It is heat treatable, strong, and ductile; however, it can also acquire brittleness. It is widely used in aerospace, sporting goods, and transportation industries.

● Aluminum 2024: It is a copper-aluminum alloy, which is one of the widely used aluminum 2xxx group alloys. This material assures a high strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance. It is used in making aircraft parts, car parts, structural parts, and so on.

● Aluminum 3003: This is the most widely used aluminum-manganese alloys, and is non-heat-treatable. Aluminum 3003 offers high corrosion resistance and ductility, which is why it is used for creating household appliances.

● Aluminum 5754: Excellent corrosion resistance in seawater and abusive environments make aluminum 5754 a popular choice for applications in marine and several other industries.

● Aluminum 5083: Like aluminum 5754, this alloy can resist saltwater and abusive environments. It retains its strength even after CNC machining and welding.
