Introduction to Aluminum Turned Parts
Aluminum turned parts are machined parts manufactured from aluminum. This process involves the rotation of the material against cutting tools to form the desired shapes and dimensions. Aluminum provides numerous advantages including lighter weight, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and ease of machining. Additionally, it has excellent formability and durability, with good electrical and thermal conductivity, making it one of the most commonly used materials for precision machining.
Benefits
Aluminum turned parts are well-suited for applications that demand high precision and durability. They also provide low weight and superior corrosion-resistance, making them ideal for applications in the aerospace, medical and automotive industries. Additionally, aluminum turned parts have excellent thermal properties, which make them suitable for high temperature environments.
Applications
Aluminum turned parts are commonly used in a range of industries such as automotive, aerospace, electrical equipment, and medical appliances. Examples of aluminum turned part applications in these industries include heat exchangers, radiator components, aerospace engine components, air ducts, pumps, electronic connectors, and surgical tools.
Manufacturing Process
Aluminum turned parts can be manufactured using several different machining processes carried out on either CNC lathes or manual lathes. CNC lathes offer the greatest accuracy and repeatability, and require minimal manual input from the operator, while the manual lathe is more cost-effective and allows for simple, one-off prototypes.

Electronics Industry
Aluminum turned parts used in the electronics industry usually require higher levels of precision, and include components such as chassis and connectors. These products must offer low electrical resistance and be made of lightweight and durable materials.
Medical Industry
Aluminum turned parts can also be applied in the medical industry, ranging from components for sophisticated equipment to everyday medical instruments. Aluminum offers superior corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, and non-magnetic properties, making it ideal for use in medical devices.
Aluminum Alloy Selection for Turned Parts
When selecting aluminum alloys for precision turned parts, there are a number of factors to consider such as strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Aluminium alloys that are commonly used in precision turning include 1100, 6061, 7075, and 2024.
Properties of Aluminum for Turning
Aluminum is an ideal material for precision machining due to its low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, good machinability, and ability to withstand high temperatures. It is also non-toxic, non-magnetic, and resistant to corrosion.
Surface Finishes
Aluminum turned parts can be finished in a variety of ways, including anodizing, sand blasting, powder coating, and electroplating. Each of these processes provide different properties such as improved corrosion resistance, enhanced aesthetics, and improved wear resistance.
