Material Options

Aluminum Alloy

Aluminum is a popular choice for machining due to its low density, good mechanical properties, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and resistance to corrosion. Aluminum alloys, such as 5052, 6061, 7075, and 2024, are commonly used in CNC machining because they offer a good balance of strength, machinability, and cost.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is well-suited for a wide array of CNC machining projects, due to its excellent machinability and outstanding uniformity. It also has good workability and weldability to match your specific machining needs, as well as high ductility and formability to meet the specification requirements of any project.

Brass& Copper& Bronze

Brass, copper, and bronze are widely used in CNC machining for their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. These metals are easy to machine and polish, making them ideal for decorative or functional parts where appearance and conductivity matter.

Steel Alloy

Steel Alloy is valued for its strength, hardness, and cost-effectiveness. It is commonly used in CNC machining for structural components, tools, and machinery parts. While less corrosion-resistant than stainless steel, it offers excellent machinability, wear resistance, and durability—especially when heat-treated to enhance mechanical performance.

Titanium Alloy

Titanium alloys offer an excellent combination of high strength, low weight, and exceptional corrosion resistance. Commonly used in aerospace, medical, and high-performance applications, titanium is more challenging to machine but ideal for parts requiring durability, biocompatibility, and a high strength-to-weight ratio.

Plastics

Plastics are lightweight, versatile, and cost-effective materials used in CNC machining. Common types include PA (Nylon), PE, PP, ABS, and POM. These materials offer good chemical resistance, electrical insulation, and ease of machining, making them ideal for prototypes, housings, gears, and various functional or cosmetic components.
