- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 3004 Aluminum with CNC Gear Hobbing
When gear cutting 3004 Aluminum, machinability is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for 3004 Aluminum mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Design Tips for CNC Gear Hobbing 3004 Aluminum
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Providing complete gear data (module, pressure angle, profile shift, quality class) lets us produce 3004 Aluminum gears right the first time. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Gear Hobbing Tolerances & Surface Finish
Gear features are produced to a specified DIN/AGMA accuracy class, with profile and lead controlled for quiet, durable running under load.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Why 3004 Aluminum?
Customers select 3004 Aluminum for CNC Gear Hobbing because it is lightweight with excellent machinability. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most 3004 Aluminum parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
CNC Gear Hobbing Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
Applications of CNC Gear Hobbing 3004 Aluminum
3004 Aluminum parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.
