Precision CNC Aluminum Parts with Black Hard Anodizing

In today’s advanced manufacturing landscape, precision CNC aluminum parts black hard anodized are at the forefront of performance and reliability. These components are widely used in industries such as aerospace, defense, medical devices, automotive, and high-end consumer electronics. The combination of CNC machining for exacting tolerances and black hard anodizing for superior surface protection makes these parts an ideal choice where durability, appearance, and corrosion resistance are critical.

What Are Precision CNC Aluminum Parts?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses automated cutting tools to precisely shape materials. Aluminum, due to its excellent machinability, strength-to-weight ratio, and affordability, is one of the most commonly used metals in CNC machining.

Common aluminum grades used for CNC machining:

• 6061: Highly versatile, excellent mechanical properties
• 7075: High strength, used in aerospace and defense
• 2024: Excellent fatigue resistance
• 5052: Strong corrosion resistance and formability

Precision CNC machining ensures:

• Tight tolerances (±0.001” or better)
• Repeatability for high-volume production
• Compatibility with complex designs and geometries
• Excellent surface finishes for post-processing like anodizing

What is Black Hard Anodizing?

Hard anodizing, also known as Type III anodizing, is an electrochemical process that converts the surface of aluminum into a thick, hard, and corrosion-resistant oxide layer. When combined with black dye during the process, it produces black hard anodized parts that are both visually appealing and extremely functional.

Features of black hard anodizing:

• Hardness up to 60–70 Rockwell C
• Oxide layer thickness of 25–100 microns (0.001”–0.004”)
• Superior wear resistance compared to standard anodizing
• High corrosion resistance
• Electrical insulation properties
• UV and heat resistance

Black hard anodizing also improves the part’s appearance with a sleek, matte or satin black finish that resists fading, fingerprints, and chemical degradation.
