VT machining provides CNC Cylindrical Grinding 3004 Aluminum for customers who need accurate, repeatable 3004 Aluminum components. The machinability of 3004 Aluminum is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding Capability for 3004 Aluminum
- Lightweight (~2.7 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 3004 Aluminum with CNC Cylindrical Grinding
3004 Aluminum behaves predictably under CNC Cylindrical Grinding once parameters are dialled in: machinability is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of 3004 Aluminum run consistently from one batch to the next.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished 3004 Aluminum parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
Why 3004 Aluminum?
3004 Aluminum is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is lightweight with excellent machinability. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every 3004 Aluminum part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding Tolerances & Surface Finish
Ground 3004 Aluminum reaches single-micron tolerances on size, flatness and parallelism, with surface finishes down to Ra 0.1–0.4 µm — and a near-mirror finish on suitable alloys.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Design Tips for CNC Cylindrical Grinding 3004 Aluminum
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Allowing adequate grind stock, specifying realistic flatness over the true datum, and relieving corners help us hit tight tolerances on 3004 Aluminum efficiently. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Cylindrical Grinding 3004 Aluminum
Customers order CNC Cylindrical Grinding 3004 Aluminum components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.
