Aluminum Alloys

5000 Series Aluminum

CNCALPARTS machines 5000 series aluminum and nothing else. Magnesium-based 5052 and 5083 offer excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability, making them the material of choice for marine, transport, and pressure applications. Because aluminum is our only focus, we control the workholding, heat, and deformation behavior these alloys demand.

Why Machine 5000 Series Aluminum with CNCALPARTS

5000 series alloys are non-heat-treatable and rely on magnesium for strength. They resist corrosion in saltwater and humid environments, weld cleanly, and form well, but they also work-harden quickly and can move during machining. Handling that behavior is a daily routine at our Shenzhen facility, not an occasional job.

We review drawings, tolerances, critical dimensions, and surface requirements before cutting metal. Every part is produced against your 3D model and technical drawing, then inspected with the equipment the project demands.

Corrosion Resistance

Magnesium-bearing alloys suit marine, outdoor, and humid-environment parts where surface protection and anodizing preparation matter.

Deformation Control

Workholding, chip evacuation, and heat management are planned around each alloy to hold flatness, parallelism, and thin-wall geometry.

Prototype to Production

From 1-piece prototypes to recurring batch orders, we keep setups stable and inspection consistent across every run.

Multi-Axis Machining

3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling plus CNC turning and turn-mill work for complex aluminum components.

Surface Finishing

As machined, bead blasting, brushing, polishing, anodizing, hard anodizing, powder coating, and chemical film.

Documented Inspection

CMM, height gauges, micrometers, calipers, and thread gauges, with dimensional inspection and first article reports available.

Typical 5000 Series Aluminum Parts

These alloys are commonly specified for enclosures, brackets, plates, frames, heat sinks, and structural components where corrosion resistance and weldability are priorities.
