Milling and turning aluminum
Aluminum is a material that is very often used for milling and turning, as it is very easy to machine. In addition, aluminum is characterized by a low specific weight (about one third of steel), high thermal conductivity and very good corrosion resistance. Turning parts, milling parts and sheet metal parts made of aluminum are used in particular in mechanical engineering and plant construction.

EN AW-5754 |
€€€€ |
€€€€ |
180 – 250 |
47 |
Offers high corrosion resistance to salty water and climatic influences and is therefore frequently used in shipbuilding and plant construction. The alloy impresses with its weldability, anodizability, weather resistance, natural hardness and excellent corrosion resistance. |
|
EN AW-6060 |
€€€€ |
€€ |
190 – 215 |
75 |
Age-hardenable aluminum alloy with medium strength and good corrosion resistance, for example to seawater and weathering. It is also characterized by its anodizability and weather resistance. |

205 – 310 |
95 |
Is one of the most commonly used aluminum alloys and is characterized by medium to high strength and low susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking. The alloy also impresses with its weldability, anodizability and corrosion resistance. |
|
EN AW-7019 |
€€€€€ |
€€€ |
390 – 420 |
125 – 130 |
Combines the properties of medium and high-strength aluminum materials and is particularly suitable for large, plate-shaped milling parts. The alloy impresses with its very high strength and good corrosion resistance. |
|
EN AW-7021 |
€€€€€ |
€€€ |
350 – 390 |
110 – 120 |
The alloy is characterized by a higher concentration of zinc and magnesium compared to EN AW-7019 and was specially developed for applications with higher strength requirements. The corrosion resistance and machinability can be slightly influenced by reduced proportions of other elements. |
|
EN AW-7075 |
€€€€€ |
€€€€ |
440 – 540 |
150 |
High-strength, age-hardenable aluminum alloy with excellent mechanical properties and high wear resistance. The alloy impresses with its very high strength and good corrosion resistance. |
