Aluminum also boasts high thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as being easily recyclable. Its strength-to-weight ratio is impressive, making it a popular choice for industries such as transportation, construction, and packaging.
Parameters
The main parameters of Aluminum include its atomic number of 13, atomic mass of 26.98 g/mol, melting point of 660.32°C, density of 2.70 g/cm³, and a symbol of Al. Aluminum is a silvery-white, ductile metal with excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for a wide range of applications in various industries such as construction, aerospace, automotive, and packaging. Its light weight, high strength, and conductivity also contribute to its versatility and widespread use in modern society.
Precautions
When machining aluminum, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety goggles and gloves, to prevent injury. Use lubrication to keep the tool cool and prevent overheating. Make sure to secure the aluminum properly to avoid accidents. Keep the work area clean to prevent slips and falls. Check the machine for any defects before starting the machining process. Follow proper machining techniques to ensure a smooth and efficient operation.
Why Aluminum is ideal for CNC machining?
Aluminum is ideal for CNC machining due to its excellent machinability, high strength-to-weight ratio, and corrosion resistance. Its low melting point allows for faster cutting speeds and reduced tool wear, resulting in quicker production times and cost savings. Additionally, aluminum's natural properties make it highly responsive to heat treatment, allowing for increased hardness and strength. Its non-magnetic and non-sparking characteristics also make it a safe choice for various applications. Overall, aluminum's versatility, durability, and ease of machining make it a preferred material for CNC machining processes.

| Typical Value / Range | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| Spindle Power | 3–30 kW | Higher power allows for more aggressive machining |
| Spindle Speed (RPM) | 6,000–24,000 RPM | Use high RPM for aluminum; 10,000–15,000 RPM is common |
| Feed Rate | 300–3,000 mm/min | Depends on tool size, flute count, and depth |
| Step Distance (Stepover) | 40–70% (roughing), 5–20% (finishing) of tool diameter | Smaller stepover improves surface finish |
| Cutting Depth (ap, ae) | Axial: 0.5–3 mm; Radial: 10–50% of tool diameter | Keep chip thickness consistent |
| Tool Path Strategy | Adaptive clearing (roughing), contouring (finishing) | Climb milling recommended |
| Coolant Type | Air blast, mist, MQL, flood | Air blast preferred to reduce aluminum chip sticking |
| Tool Material | Solid carbide (2–3 flutes), coated | Coatings like TiB₂ or ZrN help avoid built-up edge |
| Chip Removal Rate (MRR) | 50–500 cm³/min | MRR = Width × Depth × Feed Rate |
| Cutting Force | 50–500 N | Lower than steel; less tool wear |
| Surface Speed (Vc) | 300–900 m/min | Use to calculate optimal RPM: Vc = π × D × RPM / 1000 |
