CNC Honing 3004 Aluminum from VT machining delivers precision 3004 Aluminum parts made to your exact drawing. Honing finishes bores with abrasive stones to precise size, roundness and a cross-hatch surface, with parameters tuned to 3004 Aluminum, which is lightweight with excellent machinability.
CNC Honing Capability for 3004 Aluminum
- Lightweight (~2.7 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 3004 Aluminum with CNC Honing
3004 Aluminum behaves predictably under CNC Honing 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.
CNC Honing Tolerances & Surface Finish
Finishing brings 3004 Aluminum to a defined roughness target — from a uniform satin to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm — with controlled, repeatable edge breaks.
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.
CNC Honing 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.
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.
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.
Design Tips for CNC Honing 3004 Aluminum
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Telling us the target Ra, the cosmetic faces and any masking needs lets us finish 3004 Aluminum efficiently without over-processing. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
