Surface treatment options for 6063 aluminum slug
To enhance the adhesion of lubricants or oils and improve stamping efficiency, while also maintaining the product's appearance quality, we offer the following specialized surface treatment services.
-
Mill FinishThe aluminum slug is untreated, maintaining its original rolled state. The surface is smooth but not glossy.
-
TumblingThe aluminum slug is tumbled with abrasives in a drum, effectively removing surface burrs and oxide layers, while increasing surface roughness.
-
Shot Peening5083 aluminum alloy has strong corrosion resistance, can withstand extremely low temperature, and is suitable for application and low -temperature storage tanks in the ocean.
-
SandblastingThe aluminum slug surface is cleaned using high-speed sand blasting, removing oxide layers and impurities, while increasing surface roughness.
-
AnodizingAn oxide film is formed on the surface of the aluminum slug through an electrochemical process, enhancing corrosion resistance and improving aesthetics.
-
PolishingThe surface of the aluminum slug is mechanically or chemically polished to achieve a mirror-like finish.

Production of 6063 aluminum slug
Continuous casting and rolling - stamping process
- High-purity aluminum ingots are melted and purified to ensure the quality of the aluminum melt.
- After continuous casting into narrow or thin strips, the material is hot-rolled and cold-rolled to the required thickness.
- The aluminum slug is stamped at high speed using automatic stamping machines, with a stamping rate of up to 300 times per minute.
- Annealing is performed to adjust hardness and improve machinability.
- Sandblasting, rolling, or vibration treatments are applied as needed to ensure a smooth surface.
The continuous casting and rolling - stamping process is ideal for producing standardized, large-volume thin aluminum slugs with high efficiency and low cost.
Aluminum bar saw cutting process
- The molten aluminum is cast into aluminum bars using molds, and then cut to the required dimensions with a high-precision saw.
- Annealing is done to adjust hardness, and surface treatments (such as sandblasting or rolling) are applied as required.
The aluminum bar saw cutting process is suitable for producing non-standard thick aluminum slugs or high-end products, offering strong flexibility.
