Aluminium CNC Machining
Aluminium is what we machine most. 6061, 7075, 7050 and 6082, milled and turned to your drawing on 3-, 4- and 5-axis equipment, inspected in-house, AS9100D certified.

Aluminium is Fenva's deepest material strength. It is light, machines fast, anodizes beautifully and covers most of aerospace, robotics, EV and electronics work, so it is the grade family we run every day. Send a drawing and you get a line-item quote in 48 hours, one prototype or a production batch, with no minimum order.
Grades
Aluminium grades we run
| Grade | Temper | Why you pick it | Parts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6061 | T6 | The all-rounder: strong enough, weldable, anodizes cleanly, economical | Brackets, housings, plates, fixtures |
| 7075 | T6 / T651 | Highest strength aluminium, near steel strength-to-weight | Aerospace structure, UAV fittings, high-load brackets |
| 7050 | T7451 | High strength with better stress-corrosion resistance in thick plate | Aerospace plate, structural frames |
| 2024 | T3 / T351 | High-strength aerospace 2xxx, excellent fatigue resistance | Aerospace structure, fittings, fatigue-critical parts |
| 6082 | T6 | Structural grade, strong and corrosion resistant (common in Europe) | Frames, mounts, structural components |
| 5052 / 5083 | H32 | Marine and formability grades, excellent corrosion resistance | Enclosures, plates, marine hardware |
These are the aluminium grades we run most often. We also machine other grades on request.
Capability
What we can hold
- 3-, 4- and 5-axis milling plus CNC turning, so sculpted and multi-face parts finish in fewer setups.
- General tolerance ISO 2768-m as standard; down to ±0.01 mm on the features that need it.
- Surface finish to about Ra 1.6 off the machine, finer on request.
- Thin walls, deep pockets and tight bores, with DFM feedback before machining begins.
Where it goes
Commercial aerospace and UAV, robotics and automation, EV and automotive, components for medical and lab equipment, and consumer electronics.
