The Highly Flammable Nature of Magnesium
Though prized for its lightweight and machinable properties, Magnesium has an inherent risk: its extreme
flammability. It can ignite startlingly when exposed to air, especially under high temperatures or when ground
into fine particles. This spontaneous combustion potential poses significant risks during machining processes,
as the metal can generate intense white flames that are difficult to extinguish using conventional methods,
necessitating specialized safety precautions.
JYH Manufacturing Aerospace Area Product Capabilities
Our facility has CNC machining centers, CNC lathes, CNC longitudinal lathes, slow-speed wire cutting machines
and so on,
providing much manufacturing flexibility. Our engineers select the ideal equipment for an application based on the
geometry, material,
and volume of the part being machined to provide customers with premium quality parts at the best possible price.
However, magnesium can be difficult to machine due to its tendency to ignite or explode if proper precautions are not taken.
It provides a hazard for CNC machinists: the chips and dust from machined magnesium are highly flammable.
We have rich experience in control it well.
Sand or Bead Blasting
A process where abrasive materials are blasted onto the magnesium part's surface to create a matte or textured finish. It's useful for removing surface imperfections and preparing the part for other finishes. | Plating
Electroplating is a process in which metal is deposited on a surface. Electroplating is also crucial to modern technology. Electroplating is used to decorate objects, inhibit corrosion, improve weldability, etc. | Polishing A process that smoothens the magnesium surface to give it a shiny, mirror-like finish. It enhances the part's appearance and can also improve its resistance to corrosion. |

How to safely machine magnesium?
Although it might sound daunting, it is perfectly safe to CNC machine magnesium if the right precautions are taken.
Avoid tight clearance angles
Although magnesium can be machined at fast speeds without compromising the quality of the part,
it is best to avoid tight clearance angles, because contact between the tool and workpiece increases friction and cutting temperature.
Maintain proper tool condition
Sharp cutting tools can reduce the fire hazard of machining magnesium.
Dull tools can rub and cause friction, which causes sparks and builds up heat where the sensitive magnesium chips
are being created. Needless to say, sharp tools will also produce better parts.
Most machinists use a carbide cutting tool with a large relief angle for machining magnesium.
Avoid water-based coolant
Although coolants reduce machining temperatures, a water-based coolant can actually increase the risk of a magnesium fire
as it will produce hydrogen gas.Avoid coolant altogether, or use a light mineral oil in place of standard coolant. Compressed air
or argon gas can also be used to reduce temperatures without the risk of exacerbating a potential fire.
