Introduction to machining technology for aluminum alloy housings
2023-12-21 22:28There are many different techniques for machining aluminium alloy enclosures, the following are some common processes for forming aluminium alloy enclosures:
1. Casting: Pour the melted aluminium alloy into the casting mould and wait for it to solidify and take shape. This method is suitable for mass production and the shell shape is relatively simple. Casting can be divided into pressure casting, gravity casting and injection casting, etc. 2.
2. Extrusion: The aluminium alloy bar is put into the extruder and the aluminium is extruded into the desired shell shape through the extrusion die. This method is suitable for long shells or shells with complicated edges.
3. Punching: The aluminium alloy sheet is put into the punching machine, and through the punching die and punching pressure, the sheet will be punched into the desired shape of the shell. This method is suitable for thinner housings and for mass production.
4. Bending: The aluminium alloy sheet is bent into the desired housing shape by machine or by hand.
