| 6061 | 6082 | 6063 |
| The most versatile of the heat-treatable aluminum alloys, this grade retains most of aluminum’s good qualities. It offers a wide range of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. It can be fabricated using the most commonly used techniques and has good workability in annealing. | Aluminum 6082 is a medium-strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance and the highest strength among the 6000 series alloys. Known as a structural alloy, 6082 is most commonly used for machining in plate form. As a relatively new alloy, its high tensile strength has allowed it to replace aluminum 6061 in many applications. | |
| 7075 | 5052 | |
| Aluminum 7075 is one of the highest-strength aluminum alloys available, featuring an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It is ideal for highly stressed parts and is typically used in the aviation industry for complex structures and high precision. | This is the highest-strength alloy among the non-heat-treatable grades, with fatigue strength higher than most other aluminum grades. It has good resistance to marine atmosphere and saltwater corrosion and excellent workability. |
A brushing finish is a texturing technique applied primarily to metal surfaces. It’s achieved by using brushes, either manually or with machinery, to create fine, uniform lines on the metal. This process enhances the aesthetic appeal, giving the metal a sleek, satin-like appearance and providing practical benefits. It helps minimize the visibility of fingerprints and scratches, making it ideal for frequently handled or showcased parts.
Architectural Accents: Used for chic wall cladding and elevator panels, brushed hairline stainless steel provides a modern, stylish look for both interior and exterior areas.
Furniture Finishes: This material is utilized in high-end furniture manufacturing, offering enhanced durability and a polished appearance to items like tables and cabinets.
Appliance Panels: It add elegance and style to kitchen appliances such as refrigerator doors and oven panels, combining aesthetic appeal with functionality.
Automotive Detailing: Brushed stainless steel sheets are used in car interiors, enhancing dashboards and control panels with a touch of luxury.
Signage and Branding: Ideal for creating distinctive signage and brand displays, its durability and modern look help maintain a professional image.
Retail Displays: Enhances retail settings by giving displays a sophisticated shimmer, thus improving the overall shopping experience.
Electronic Devices: Provides a durable and stylish surface for electronic devices like smartphones and laptops, improving both aesthetics and longevity.
Hotel Interiors: Used in hotels to create sophisticated and modern spaces, from lobby accents to room furnishings.
A brushing finish is achieved using a wire brush or abrasive pad to create those lovely lines known as “grain”. The result is visually appealing and is resistant to scratches and fingerprints.
Picture this: Sleek, smooth subtle yet distinct lines running in one direction. It’s like a work of art carefully crafted by a skilled artisan; instead of painting on canvas, it’s metal on metal.
It creates a perfect finish for those who want their metal parts to look refined but not too flashy.
look at some brushing finish products, like brushed metal appliances or watch bands, that exude supplication and class. I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a finish worth considering for your CNC precision machining, and injection molding products.
Aluminum：
Characteristics: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant
Application: Ideal for brushed finishes due to their softness, commonly used in automotive and aerospace parts.
Stainless Steel：
Characteristics: Durable, resistant to tarnishing
Application: Perfect for achieving a sophisticated brushed look, often used in kitchen appliances and medical devices.
Brass：
Characteristics: Malleable, attractive color
Application: Brushing enhances its decorative appeal, making it popular in architectural and interior design elements.
Copper：
Characteristics: Highly ductile, unique color
Application: Brushing brings out the warm tones of copper, commonly used in artistic and decorative pieces.
Brushed aluminum is not just visually appealing, it’s also durable and corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings. Typically favored for indoor signage, its weather resistance also makes it a practical choice for outdoor use.
Brushing gives metal a distinctive look, as it retains some but not all of its metallic luster and is given a pattern of very fine lines parallel to the brushing direction. As shown in the above pictures.
