CNC Broaching AZ91D Magnesium is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. AZ91D Magnesium is ultralight with excellent machinability, and we combine controlled machining with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Broaching Capability for AZ91D Magnesium
- Lightest structural metal (~1.8 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- High strength-to-weight
- Damping capacity
Machining AZ91D Magnesium with CNC Broaching
AZ91D Magnesium behaves predictably under CNC Broaching once parameters are dialled in: machinability is excellent (fastest of structural metals); fire-safe chip handling required, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of AZ91D Magnesium run consistently from one batch to the next.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Broaching AZ91D Magnesium
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Linear dimension (< 100 mm) | ±0.05 mm | ±0.010 mm |
| Linear dimension (100–300 mm) | ±0.10 mm | ±0.025 mm |
| Hole diameter (reamed) | H9 | H7 |
| True position of hole pattern | ±0.10 mm | ±0.025 mm |
| Flatness over 100 mm | 0.05 mm | 0.015 mm |
| Perpendicularity | 0.10 mm | 0.020 mm |
| Surface finish, as machined | Ra 1.6 µm | Ra 0.4 µm |
Standard is what a normal quotation assumes. Precision is available on nominated features and is priced separately, because it needs extra setups, in-process gauging and CMM verification. Call out only the features that need it — blanket-tightening a drawing is the single most common reason a quote comes back expensive.
CNC Broaching Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every AZ91D Magnesium part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Broaching AZ91D Magnesium
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in AZ91D Magnesium. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why AZ91D Magnesium?
AZ91D Magnesium is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is ultralight with excellent machinability. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
CNC Broaching Tolerances & Surface Finish
For CNC Broaching, dimensional and positional tolerances around ±0.01 mm are routine, tightening toward ±0.005 mm on precision setups. Surface finish on machined faces typically falls in the Ra 0.4–1.6 µm range depending on tooling and pass strategy.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished AZ91D Magnesium parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
Applications of CNC Broaching AZ91D Magnesium
Customers order CNC Broaching AZ91D Magnesium components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.
How to Order CNC Broaching AZ91D Magnesium
Getting a quote is simple. Share your model, the material grade, your quantity and target tolerances. You receive a clear quotation with lead time and honest manufacturability feedback.

What We Need to Quote CNC Broaching AZ91D Magnesium
- GeometrySTEP or IGES for the 3D model, plus a PDF drawing if you have tolerance callouts. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
- MaterialThe exact AZ91D Magnesium grade and condition — temper, heat-treat state or hardness. If you are not sure, tell us the function and we will suggest one.
- QuantityPrototype count and the expected annual volume. Both change how the part is made and therefore what it costs.
- TolerancesWhich features are critical. Everything else runs to our standard tolerance, which is what keeps the price sensible.
- FinishSurface treatment, cosmetic requirements, and any faces that must be masked.
- DocumentsWhether you need a material certificate, dimensional report, FAIR or PPAP with the shipment.
Missing something from the list is not a problem — send what you have. We will come back with the specific questions rather than a generic form.
