Semiconductor Aluminium Forgings
Aluminium forgings for processing equipment with dimensional stability requirements
What Semiconductor Aluminium Forgings Is and Who It Is For
Forging solutions for the semiconductor industry cover forged parts for processing equipment with strict requirements for electrical properties, anodisation quality and dimensional stability on final machining. Available aluminium grades include 6061, 5083, 3003 and 6082 in annealed and aged hardened tempers.
Key Benefits
- Forged aluminium holds dimension better than plate through final machining
- Grades and tempers chosen for anodisation quality
- Electrical property requirements taken into account at material selection
- Machining on the 5-axis centre after stress relief

Who It Is For
- Semiconductor equipment manufacturers
- Precision machining suppliers to the semiconductor industry
- Vacuum and process tool builders
Problems It Solves
- Plate stock relieves stress during machining and the part moves
- Poor anodisation quality shows up only after the part is finished
- Mixed tempers across a batch give inconsistent machining behaviour
Technical Features
- Aluminium 6061, 5083, 3003 and 6082
- Annealed and aged hardened tempers
- Dimensional stability on final machining
- 5-axis machining capability

How It Compares
Forged aluminium is specified over plate for large chamber parts because the residual stress pattern is more uniform, so the part stays flat after heavy stock removal.
Use Guide
- State the anodisation specification at enquiry stage
- Tell us the machining sequence so stress relief can be placed correctly
- Confirm the temper required on delivery

Questions Buyers Ask About Semiconductor Aluminium Forgings
Which aluminium grades do you forge?
6061, 5083, 3003 and 6082, in annealed and aged hardened tempers.
Why forged rather than plate?
Forged parts hold dimensional stability better on final machining, which is one of the strict requirements in semiconductor processing equipment.
Do you machine the parts as well?
Yes, on the CNC machining centre which includes a 5-axis machine.
