Mild Steels for Machining
LML offers several mild steel grades in its long list of available manufacturing materials. Two of those grades are especially well-suited material options for structural components and heavy-duty parts, whether cutting or welding: Mild Steel A36 and 1018.Mild Steel A36 (Structural Grade): Benefits include high weldability, strong load-bearing capacity, and cost efficiency for building frames, machinery bases, and industrial brackets. See data sheet for more information.Mild Steel 1018 (Low-Carbon): This cold-drawn alloy delivers superior machinability, smooth surface finish, and consistent strength for shafts, gears, and precision pins. See data sheet for more information.GET INSTANT QUOTE

Aluminum Alloys for Machining
CNC Machined Aluminum
Aluminum is a relatively easy metal to machine which makes it great for CNC machining. Aluminum has useful properties for machining such as being lightweight, malleable, tractable and overall good durability. It being so light and easy to work with means that it can be used for a wide variety of applications. CNC machined Aluminum parts begin as a raw piece of metal which is cut down bit by bit to create a desired shape or object. This process is done most accurately with a CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machine which can produce almost any three dimensional object designed via CAD (Computer Aided Design) software.
Aluminum Machine Shops
Our broad network of manufacturing partners includes over 240 Aluminum machine shops. Having this huge capacity and wide range of machinery available lets us fulfill a massive variety of orders and produce very complex parts. Our machine shops can produce custom Aluminum parts with CNC turning machines and 3- & 5-axis CNC milling machines. Our machine shops offer 13 different types of Aluminum: Aluminum 6061-T6, Aluminum 7075-T6, Aluminum 6082, Aluminum 5083, Aluminum 6063, Aluminum 5052, Aluminum 2024, Aluminum 7050, Aluminum MIC6, Aluminum 2017, Aluminum A380 and Aluminum 2014.
Aluminum Machining Services
We offer a complete Aluminum CNC machining service and can produce complex Aluminum parts with 13 different types of Aluminum. Aluminum parts are great for applications that require high strength, corrosion resistance, heat tolerance, low weight, electrical conductivity, and overall versatility. We work with almost every kind of CNC mill and turning center, and are able to machine simple, “as-machined” workholdings to complex, organic geometries with tight tolerances. With our Aluminum CNC machining services, you can apply up to 13 different post-processing/surface finishing options, including bead blasting, anodizing types II and III, powder coating and electroless nickel plating.
