Machine shops typically choose aluminum for its balance of strength, weight and workability. Its high versatility is perfect for components in various applications where performance requirements demand structural integrity with reduced material weights. Since 1995, American Micro Industries has been providing customers with top-quality parts made from aluminum using the latest metal CNC manufacturing technology.

Aluminum Characteristics and Properties

Aluminum exists in numerous alloys, each optimized for specific applications. The 6000 series offers excellent general-purpose performance, while the 7000 series provides aerospace-grade strength. The 2000 series delivers superior fatigue resistance, and the 5000 series is ideal for marine environments needing enhanced corrosion protection.

Here are several characteristics that make these grades of aluminum stand out:

  • High strength-to-weight ratio: Aluminum components provide remarkable structural integrity while weighing approximately one-third as much as steel. Less weight makes this material ideal for applications where weight reduction directly improves performance and efficiency.
  • Superior machinability: Aluminum responds exceptionally well to precision cutting operations, allowing for complex geometries, thin walls and fine details with minimal tool wear and excellent surface finishes.
  • Corrosion resistance: Aluminum forms a self-protecting oxide surface layer that prevents deterioration in moist environments.
  • Thermal conductivity: With heat dissipation properties much higher than steel, aluminum effectively manages thermal loads in applications where temperature control is critical.
