VT machining specialises in CNC Broaching 3004 Aluminum. Because 3004 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, and its machinability is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Broaching Capability for 3004 Aluminum
- Lightweight (~2.7 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 3004 Aluminum with CNC Broaching
The machinability of 3004 Aluminum is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable. For CNC Broaching we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the 3004 Aluminum workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine 3004 Aluminum regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
CNC Broaching Tolerances & Surface Finish
For CNC Broaching, dimensional and positional tolerances around ±0.01 mm are routine, tightening toward ±0.005 mm on precision setups. Surface finish on machined faces typically falls in the Ra 0.4–1.6 µm range depending on tooling and pass strategy.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
Design Tips for CNC Broaching 3004 Aluminum
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in 3004 Aluminum. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete 3004 Aluminum components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.
CNC Broaching Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on 3004 Aluminum parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
