Glory manufactures custom aluminum alloy parts according to drawings and samples, achieving precision meeting advanced level in China.
Aluminum alloys commonly used for mechanical parts:
- 6061 Aluminum Alloy: Widely used in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries. It offers good mechanical properties, weldability, and strong corrosion resistance.
- 7075 Aluminum Alloy: Mainly used in aerospace applications due to its high strength, though it has poor weldability and moderate corrosion resistance.
- 2024 Aluminum Alloy: Suitable for high-strength and fatigue-resistant applications such as aircraft structures and automotive chassis. It has poor weldability but good machinability.
- 5052 Aluminum Alloy: Often used for manufacturing tanks, pipelines, and marine components, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and weldability.
- 5083 Aluminum Alloy: Used in shipbuilding and chemical equipment due to its outstanding corrosion resistance in marine environments.
- 6063 Aluminum Alloy: Commonly used in architectural materials and decorative items, known for its excellent extrusion properties and surface treatment characteristics.
We specialize in custom machining aluminum alloy parts as per drawings or samples. Below are some successful project for customer.
We have extensive experience in machining aluminum alloy parts, such as impellers, automotive components, and UAV parts.
Common applications of aluminum alloy parts:
- Aerospace: Aluminum alloys are the main materials for manufacturing structural components and outer shells of aircrafts, helicopters, etc. Different from the alloy content, aluminum alloys can be used to manufacture rivets, aircraft propellers, and high-strength components. Ultra-hard aluminum is used to manufacture various structural components and high-load components, which is one of the important materials in the aerospace industry.
- Transportation: Aluminum alloys are widely used in automotive, railway, subway and other transportation vehicles, such as wheels, car bodies, engine components, etc. In the shipping industry, aluminum and aluminum alloys are also increasingly used, such as ship hulls, support structures, pipelines, etc.
- Building decoration: Aluminum alloys are used in building exteriors, windows, doors and other decorative materials, such as curtain walls, window frames, etc.
- Electronics: Aluminum alloys are used in electronic products, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other electronic devices.
- Medical equipment: Aluminum alloys are used in medical equipment, surgery tools, etc., such as medical syringes, surgical knives, etc.
- Sports equipment: Aluminum alloys are widely used in various sports equipment, such as bicycles, scooters, walking sticks, etc.
