Machining 3004 Aluminum with CNC Surface Grinding
When grinding 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 Surface Grinding 3004 Aluminum
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. 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.
Why 3004 Aluminum?
Customers select 3004 Aluminum for CNC Surface Grinding because it is lightweight with excellent machinability. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
CNC Surface Grinding 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.
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 Surface 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.
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.
Applications of CNC Surface Grinding 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.
