VT machining offers CNC Honing for 3003 Aluminum (UNS A93003 / EN AW-3003), typically supplied H14. Mn adds ~20% strength over 1100 with excellent formability.
CNC Honing Notes for 3003 Aluminum
Honing gives 3003 Aluminum bores precise size, roundness and a controlled cross-hatch; for soft grades we use fine silicon-carbide stones.

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Honing 3003 Aluminum?
CNC Honing prototypes for 3003 Aluminum can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
What surface finish is achievable on 3003 Aluminum with CNC Honing?
Our finishing processes refine 3003 Aluminum surfaces to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm for cosmetic or sealing faces.
Why is 3003 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Honing?
3003 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Honing. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 3003 Aluminum finishing part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Honing 3003 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 3003 Aluminum finishing depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Can VT machining make custom 3003 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 3003 Aluminum finishing is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
