Aluminium

Why choose machined aluminium for your technical parts?

Machined aluminium combines lightness, good thermal conductivity and outstanding machinability. 5xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx alloys cover most needs in general engineering, automation and mobile equipment.

In CNC milling or turning, aluminium allows short cycles, clean surface finishes and tight tolerances on housings, flanges, brackets and structural parts.

Lusinage supports your projects from one-off parts to industrial batches: feasibility analysis, alloy selection and guidance on anodizing or surface treatment if required.

Material strengths

The advantages of aluminium in CNC machining

Weight-to-stiffness ratio

Lighter structures and housings without giving up mechanical strength in many applications.

High machinability

Favorable feeds and finishes in CNC, ideal for rapid prototypes and short runs.

Corrosion resistance

Natural oxide layer; anodizing or other treatments possible for outdoor use.

Industrial versatility

Automation, transport, embedded electronics, special-purpose machines: a wide range of uses.

Aluminium machining: frequently asked questions

Which aluminium alloys do you machine?

5083, 6082, 7075 and other common grades depending on mechanical stress and availability. State the desired alloy or the constraint on the quote.

Aluminium or steel for my structural part?

Aluminium lightens the whole assembly; steel is better suited to heavy loads and wear. We guide you according to load, environment and target cost.

Do you offer anodizing after machining?

CNC machining is our core business; anodizing or other treatments can be coordinated depending on the project: state the requirement on the quote.

What tolerance on a machined aluminium part?

Per drawing: usual ISO tolerances in mechanical engineering, tight fits possible on critical bearing surfaces and bores.

Which files for an aluminium quote?

STEP, IGES or dimensioned PDF with material, quantity and surface requirements.

Lead time for an aluminium prototype?

Often a few days to 2 weeks depending on complexity and workshop load; firm lead time on the quote.

Do you machine complex aluminium housings?

Yes. 3-axis milling and strategies suited to pockets, thin walls and deep holes.

Short run or one-off part?

Both. No minimum imposed: from the spare part to the pre-series batch.

Is aluminium suitable for food-contact parts?

Some alloys and finishes are compatible; 316L stainless steel remains preferred for direct food contact, and we advise case by case.

How can I reduce costs on an aluminium part?

Optimising machining sequences, choosing a standard alloy and specifying functional dimensions (without over-specifying) reduce machine time.
