Copper CNC machining is the primary process for producing custom copper parts in many industries. Due to copper's excellent ductility, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity, CNC machined custom copper parts are widely used in automotive, aerospace, medical, and many other industries.
Copper is one of the most expensive materials, so selecting it requires considering both application characteristics and cost-effectiveness.
The feed rate is the speed at which the cutting tool engages with the workpiece. Therefore, before machining CNC custom copper parts, it is essential to set the correct feed rate, as it affects the quality, life span, and surface finish of the custom copper parts. Additionally, copper's efficient heat conduction means high feed rates can increase tool wear over time.
Before machining CNC custom copper parts, it is necessary to organize design requirements and specifications, which helps achieve the functionality of CNC custom copper parts. This includes reducing the number of part setups, size checks, and preventing small radius deep cavities.
Many bronze plates are softer to machine than aluminum and steel of equivalent strength, which can lead to blade formation and tool wear. Therefore, choosing the right tool material is crucial. High-speed steel is one appropriate tool material for copper CNC machining.
Electrolytic Polishing
Copper can be polished electrolytically to achieve a very smooth and shiny surface. Electrolytic polishing can further improve the corrosion resistance of custom copper parts without affecting their conductivity.
Electroplating
Metal electroplating of copper can maintain both electrical and thermal conductivity, often helping to prevent oxidation on the surface of custom copper parts. In particular, noble metal electroplating (such as silver or gold plating) can provide low contact resistance to maintain excellent electrical conductivity and welding performance.
