What surface finish is achievable on 1100 Aluminum with CNC Wire EDM?
Surface finish on 1100 Aluminum is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Why is 1100 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Wire EDM?
1100 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Wire EDM. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1100 Aluminum EDM machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Can VT machining make custom 1100 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1100 Aluminum EDM machining 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.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Wire EDM 1100 Aluminum?
CNC Wire EDM prototypes for 1100 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.
Can you EDM-machine hardened 1100 Aluminum?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult 1100 Aluminum can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
What is CNC Wire EDM 1100 Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Wire EDM 1100 Aluminum refers to wire EDM cuts conductive metal with a charged wire, achieving fine detail and tight tolerance with no cutting force. Applied to 1100 Aluminum — lightweight with excellent machinability — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
