Aluminum
MWDT delivers lightweight, precision aluminum components for aerospace, instrumentation, semiconductor, and equipment manufacturers. Aluminum’s excellent machinability means fast cycle times and cost-effective parts — from rapid prototypes to production runs — machined on our 5-axis centers and finished to your specification.
Grades We Machine
6061-T6 — the versatile workhorse
Excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance, weldable, and anodizes beautifully; ideal for housings, brackets, and prototypes.
7075-T6 — aerospace strength
Steel-like strength at a fraction of the weight for structural aerospace components.
2024 — fatigue resistance
Excellent fatigue performance for aircraft structures and manifolds.
5052 — marine corrosion resistance
Superior salt-water resistance for enclosures and marine-adjacent parts.
Applications & Finishing
Typical applications include housings, brackets, plates, manifolds, heat sinks, enclosures, and chassis for aerospace, instrumentation, and semiconductor equipment.
Finishing through Anodic Process Technologies includes aluminum anodizing (corrosion, wear, color, and electrical insulation), clear chromate (conductive corrosion protection), electroless nickel, powder coating, and alumina/yttria ceramic coatings for semiconductor service.
With QuickTurn lead times and same- or next-day quotes, aluminum is also our go-to material for fast, cost-effective prototyping.
