Why is lathe casting-china.com' target='_blank'>aluminum processing more difficult?
Lathe aluminum processing is not as easy as we think, and technicians have to overcome many difficulties in order to process aluminum parts into high-quality products.
Aluminum is an active metal, and an oxide film is formed immediately on the surface of aluminum in dry air, so that aluminum will not be further oxidized and resistant to water; But aluminum powder is very flammable when mixed with air; Molten aluminum can react violently with water; At high temperature, many metal oxides can be reduced to the corresponding metal; Aluminum is amphoteric, that is, soluble in strong bases, but also soluble in dilute acids.
Therefore, aluminum parts are relatively soft, and deformation problems are easy to occur in the process of processing aluminum parts, and technicians must overcome them by symmetrical processing and other ways. During the processing of aluminum parts, if the temperature is too high, the aluminum parts will stick to the tool, and the technician should consider increasing the cooling time and increasing the flow of the coolant to overcome it. In addition, aluminum processing tool is also a test, if the tool is not suitable, not only the processing effect is not good, the cost will rise. In addition, the accuracy is controlled, if the product error of aluminum processing is large, it can not meet the requirements in use, reduce production efficiency and increase costs.
Therefore, the processing of aluminum parts is not an easy thing, and engineers need to use their brains to overcome difficulties in order to process aluminum parts into high-quality products.
