As a leading CNC machining service provider, AOOM Technologies specializes in delivering high-precision copper components for industries ranging from electronics to aerospace. This article explores the copper CNC machining process, its advantages, and how our expertise ensures superior results.
Understanding Copper CNC Machining
Copper CNC machining involves subtractive manufacturing techniques to shape raw copper materials into precise components. Due to copper's excellent conductivity and thermal properties, it requires specialized machining strategies to maintain dimensional accuracy while preventing material deformation.
Key Steps in Copper CNC Machining
1. Material Selection: Choosing the right copper alloy (C10100, C11000, etc.) based on conductivity and mechanical requirements.
2. Toolpath Optimization: Our engineers program toolpaths to account for copper's gummy nature, reducing tool wear.
3. Coolant Management: Implementing temperature-controlled machining to prevent work hardening.
4. Surface Finishing: Optional processes like electropolishing for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.
