Aluminum CNC Machining

Precision CNC machining for aluminum alloys 6061, 7075, 5052, 6063, and 2024. 3-axis to 5-axis milling and turning. Anodizing and surface finishing available.

Why Aluminum

Lightweight, Strong,
Cost-Effective

Aluminum is the most widely machined metal — and for good reason. It's lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant, and machines 3–5x faster than steel. For prototypes and production parts alike, aluminum delivers the best balance of performance, cost, and lead time.

At YEYUAN CNC, we machine aluminum daily. Our tooling, speeds, feeds, and coolant strategies are tuned for each alloy grade — from easy-cutting 6061 to the higher demands of 7075 aerospace aluminum.

Alloy Grades

Aluminum Alloys
We Machine

Aluminum 6061

Most versatile aluminum alloy. Good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and great machinability. The go-to choice for general-purpose machining.

Typical Applications: Prototypes, structural brackets, electronic enclosures, bicycle frames, marine hardware.

Aluminum 7075

High-strength aerospace-grade aluminum. Comparable to mild steel in strength at 1/3 the weight. More challenging to machine than 6061 but delivers exceptional strength-to-weight.

Typical Applications: Aerospace structural components, high-stress bicycle parts, rock climbing equipment, molds and tooling.

Aluminum 5052

Excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments. Good formability and weldability. Lower strength than 6061/7075.

Typical Applications: Marine hardware, fuel tanks, sheet metal enclosures, chemical processing equipment.

Aluminum 6063

Architectural aluminum with excellent surface finish after anodizing. Medium strength, very good extrudability.

Typical Applications: Architectural extrusions, window frames, heat sinks, furniture, decorative parts.

Aluminum 2024

High-strength aerospace alloy with excellent fatigue resistance. Lower corrosion resistance — typically used with alclad coating.

Typical Applications: Aircraft structures, military vehicles, truck wheels, precision fittings.
