VT machining offers CNC 5-Axis Machining for 3004 Aluminum (UNS A93004 / EN AW-3004), typically supplied H34. Mg addition makes it stronger than 3003; can-body alloy.
CNC 5-Axis Machining Notes for 3004 Aluminum
Multi-axis machining lets 3004 Aluminum parts be completed in one or two setups, which improves feature-to-feature accuracy.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 3004 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.
