Magnesium precision manufacturing services for custom small and large components

All About Magnesium in Manufacturing

Magnesium alloys, whether cast or forged, offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios. They are useful for a wide range of engineering efforts.

It is 70 percent lighter than stainless steel and 33 percent lighter than aluminum. These alloys are cost-effective, highly machinable, and

have the highest damping capacity among structural metals. Their applications include: automotive, aerospace, electronics, defense,

biomedical, manufacturing, and green energy technologies.

Magnesium is a lightweight metal with high level of machinability that can be CNC machined to create parts with high strength and

excellent corrosion resistance.

Magnesium Machining Benefits

• Magnesium have low density but high strength and good rigidity. Such performance is very advantageous for the design of the integral component.

• 2.Magnesium has good toughness and strong shock absorption. It is very suitable for parts that are subject to impact—wheels; magnesium alloys have high damping capacity and are ideal materials for avoiding fatigue caused by vibration and noise.

• 3.Magnesium alloy has low heat capacity, fast solidification speed and good die casting performance. Due to the low heat capacity of the magnesium alloy, the production efficiency is 40% to 50% higher than that of the same aluminum alloy casting, and the casting size is more stable, the precision is higher, and the surface finish is better.

• 4.Magnesium alloys have excellent machinability; magnesium are the materials that are easier to machining in all common metals. High cutting speed and inexpensive cutting tools for low tool consumption

Comparison Of Common Magnesium Alloys

Features of magnesium alloy parts

• CNC machining magnesium parts have high strength, the ratio of strength to quality of magnesium alloy is high, and it has a certain bearing capacity.

• Magnesium parts have small elastic modulus, good rigidity, strong shock resistance, and are not easily deformed after long-term use.

• Magnesium machining parts have good resistance to electromagnetic interference and shielding.

• Magnesium machining parts do not pollute the environment.

The Characteristics of Magnesium Parts Can be as follows:

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.
