6000 Series Aluminum

CNCALPARTS is a Shenzhen-based CNC machining company that works exclusively with aluminum. This category covers the 6000 series alloys we machine every day — 6061, 6063, 6082, 6262 and more — with the tooling, cutting parameters and workholding already tuned for each grade.

Why 6000 Series Aluminum

The 6000 series is the workhorse family for machined aluminum components: it offers a strong balance of strength, corrosion resistance, weldability and anodizing response, which makes it a natural fit for enclosures, housings, brackets, plates, heat sinks and structural parts.

Each grade behaves differently at the spindle. Alloy composition, temper and heat treatment affect chip formation, built-up edge, thin-wall stability and cosmetic finish — so we treat 6061, 6063, 6082 and 6262 as distinct machining problems rather than one generic material.

Single-Material Expertise

Because aluminum is our only material focus, tooling, feeds, speeds and workholding are optimized around one material family instead of being spread across steel, stainless, brass and titanium.

Deformation Control

Thin walls, deep pockets and large cutouts release internal stress. We plan roughing, rest periods and finishing passes to keep flatness, parallelism and position within specification.

Anodizing-Ready Parts

Cosmetic parts and anodized components need attention to surface condition and dimensional allowance. We machine with the finishing step in mind, not as an afterthought.

Prototype to Production

From 1–10 piece prototypes to 500+ piece batch runs, we keep setups stable and inspection consistent so repeat orders match the first article.

3 / 4 / 5-Axis Capability

Multi-sided machining, complex 5-axis geometry, precision holes, bores and threaded features are handled in-house with CMM verification and inspection reports on request.

Engineering Communication

Send STEP/STP plus a PDF drawing and we review tolerances, critical dimensions and surface requirements before production — so questions surface early, not after the parts ship.
