Product Description
CNC Milling 6061 aluminum panels are an excellent option for those looking for a durable and visually appealing finish on their 6061 aluminum parts. The process involves applying a fine-grit material to the surface of the aluminum, which creates a textured finish that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
One of the main benefits is the improved texture of the material. The surface of the aluminum is treated with a fine-grit material, which creates small indentations and ridges on the surface. Additionally, the texture helps to hide scratches and blemishes that may occur on the surface over time.
During the manufacturing process, they are first machined to the desired shape using computer numerical control (CNC) machines. This ensures that the parts are precise and accurate. Once the machining process is complete, the parts are then subjected to sandblasting.
After sandblasting, they are then anodized. Anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a thin layer of oxide on the surface of the parts. This layer provides additional protection against corrosion and wear, as well as enhancing the decorative appearance of the parts.
The resulting sand-blasted and anodized aluminum parts have a smooth, matte finish that is aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, they are highly durable and resistant to scratches, making them ideal for use in harsh environments.

Product Feature
1. High strength: With a tensile strength of up to 45,000 psi, CNC Milling 6061 aluminum panels are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio and superior resistance to stress.
2. Corrosion resistance: This alloy contains magnesium and silicon, making it highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
3. Formability: 6061 aluminum is easy to shape and mold into complex shapes due to its excellent formability. It can also be machined, stamped, and welded without any difficulty.
4. Heat treatment: This alloy can be heat-treated to enhance its mechanical properties, such as increasing its strength and hardness.
When compared with other aluminum alloys, 6061 stands out in many aspects. For instance:
1. 6063 aluminum: While both alloys share similar properties, 6061 has higher strength and resistance to stress than 6063.
2. 2024 aluminum: This alloy is more commonly used in aircraft due to its excellent strength and toughness. However, it is not as corrosion-resistant as 6061.
3. 5052 aluminum: This alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and formability, but it is less strong and durable than 6061.

Process
Milling is a machining method that involves the use of a cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece to obtain the desired shape, size, and finish. This process is commonly used for metal parts, and it offers excellent accuracy, precision, and repeatability, making it ideal for producing complex and high-precision components for various industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.
Sandblasting, also known as abrasive blasting, is a surface treatment process that uses high-pressure air or water to remove unwanted surface materials and create a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing surface finish. This process is commonly used for metals, plastics, ceramics, and other materials and offers benefits such as removing rust, corrosion, and paint, as well as providing a consistent and uniform surface finish for decorative and functional purposes.
Anodizing is a process of electrochemical treatment that enhances the surface properties of aluminum and other metals. This method involves immersing the metal in an electrolyte solution and passing an electric current through it, resulting in the formation of a hard, durable, and corrosion-resistant oxide layer. Anodizing is commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, and construction industries, and it offers benefits such as improved surface hardness, wear resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Application
1. Construction industry: CNC Milling 6061 aluminum panels can withstand harsh weather conditions, making them ideal for outdoor applications such as roofing and siding. The oxidation process also provides corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of aluminum plates.
2. Sports equipment: The lightweight and durable properties make them perfect for constructing high-performance sports equipment like bicycles, hockey sticks, and golf clubs. The sandblasting and oxidation processes produce a sleek and polished finish, enhancing their aesthetic appeal.
3. Marine industry: In the marine industry, they are commonly used in boat building due to their strength and corrosion resistance. The plates can be further treated with anti-fouling coatings, which prevent the growth of marine organisms such as barnacles.
4. Architecture and interior design: The plates can be used to create decorative panels, wall cladding, and light fixtures.
