What Is Aluminum Machining?
Aluminum is one of the most popular machining materials thanks to its workability, strength, and versatility. What’s more, its low cost makes it perfect for prototypes, end-use products, and custom tools for molding. From standard grades like 6061 to high-quality aerospace grades like 7075, we have an aluminum alloy for every CNC machining project.
We also have the skills and the cutting-edge equipment to handle every challenge that might arise during production and improve the machinability of aluminum compared to our competitors. Our team has years of experience in machining with aluminum, as it makes up roughly 70% of used materials.
Our in-house equipment includes HAAS 5-axis mills with edge finding equipment, Hexagon CMMs, Olympus XRF analyzers, and a range of cutting tools for efficient chip removal. We machine at a fast rate, offering fast speeds and excellent material properties from your CAD files. With the help of our cutting-edge equipment, we can avoid aluminum part deformation and produce consistent results for our clients.
We can guarantee the aluminum alloy will be the exact material that you need for your project and can ensure the right tolerances according to your needs. Take our services out for a test drive: send us your CAD files to see our fair pricing rate and fast speeds for yourself.

Products Made with Aluminum CNC Machining
6061-T6 represents the industry benchmark for versatile, high-performance aluminum in CNC machining. Its exceptional balance of moderate strength, outstanding corrosion resistance, superior weldability, and excellent machinability makes it the preferred choice for the vast majority of structural, enclosure, and functional components. At XHYE, we leverage its predictable behavior under high-speed multi-axis operations to achieve tight tolerances and complex geometries efficiently, while its compatibility with a wide range of surface treatments — including anodizing and powder coating — ensures both functional durability and premium aesthetics across automotive, electronics, and industrial applications.
7075-T6 is the premier high-strength aluminum alloy for the most demanding structural and dynamic-load applications. With tensile strength approaching that of many steels yet retaining aluminum’s lightweight advantage, it delivers exceptional fatigue resistance and is the material of choice in aerospace primary structures, defense systems, and high-performance motorsport components. XHYE’s advanced 5-axis machining expertise and rigorous process controls allow us to machine this alloy to the tightest tolerances while managing its lower inherent corrosion resistance through optimized finishing strategies such as hard anodizing or protective coatings — delivering parts that meet the stringent performance and reliability standards of top-tier aerospace and defense programs.
5052-H32 excels where superior corrosion resistance and formability are paramount, particularly in marine, automotive, and outdoor environments. Its magnesium-alloyed composition provides outstanding resistance to saltwater and atmospheric corrosion while maintaining good strength and excellent weldability. XHYE routinely applies specialized machining strategies for this alloy to preserve its surface integrity and achieve smooth finishes suitable for visible or functional components such as marine hardware, fuel tanks, electronics enclosures, and architectural elements — ensuring long-term durability without compromising the precision and efficiency that define our manufacturing approach.
2024-T3/T351 is the gold-standard alloy for high-fatigue, high-strength aerospace and performance-critical applications. Its copper-alloyed composition delivers excellent tensile and fatigue properties, making it indispensable for primary aircraft structures, fittings, and high-stress automotive or motorsport parts. At XHYE, our engineers apply deep knowledge of this alloy’s machining characteristics — including careful management of residual stresses and tool selection — to produce precision components that satisfy the exacting requirements of the aerospace industry, often in combination with protective surface treatments to mitigate its moderate corrosion resistance while maintaining the lightweight advantages essential for flight and high-performance systems.
6082-T6 serves as a robust structural alloy widely adopted in European and global transportation and architectural applications, offering strength and machinability comparable or superior to 6061 in many load-bearing scenarios. Its silicon-magnesium composition provides excellent corrosion resistance and weldability alongside high mechanical performance, making it ideal for beams, frames, and heavy-duty components in rail, automotive, and construction equipment. XHYE’s expertise in optimizing feed rates, tool paths, and fixturing for this alloy enables efficient production of large or complex structural parts with consistent dimensional accuracy and surface quality — supporting clients who require reliable, high-integrity aluminum components for demanding industrial and transportation environments.
