Types of Materials for CNC Extrusion
Different materials work better for different jobs. Here’s a quick guide:
Metals
Aluminum Alloys
Steel & Stainless Steel
Titanium
Copper Alloys
Aluminum Alloys
Aluminum is the most used metal for CNC extrusion. It is light and does not rust easily.
- Types of aluminum:
- 6061 – Good for most uses
- 7075 – Very strong for planes
- 2024 – Used in planes too
Why people like aluminum:
- It is light
- It does not rust
- Easy to work with
- Good for cars and bikes
Did you know? 60% of CNC extrusion projects use aluminum alloys!
Our aluminum CNC machining service can help you make custom aluminum parts.
Steel & Stainless Steel
Steel is very strong and can hold up heavy things.
- Types of steel:
- 304 – Does not rust
- 4140 – Very strong
Why people like steel:
- Very strong
- Lasts a long time
- Good for machines and tools
In tests, H13 tool steel parts lasted 30% longer than other options!
Titanium
Titanium is super strong but very light. It costs a lot of money.
Why people like titanium:
- Very strong but light
- Good for the body (won’t hurt you)
- Used in planes and medical parts
Titanium has the best strength-to-weight ratio of all metals at 1,000 MPa!
