CNC Cylindrical Grinding AZ31B Magnesium from VT machining delivers precision AZ31B Magnesium parts made to your exact drawing. Cylindrical grinding finishes outer diameters of rotational parts to precise size and roundness, with parameters tuned to AZ31B Magnesium, which is ultralight with excellent machinability.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding Capability for AZ31B Magnesium
- Lightest structural metal (~1.8 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- High strength-to-weight
- Damping capacity
Machining AZ31B Magnesium with CNC Cylindrical Grinding
AZ31B Magnesium behaves predictably under CNC Cylindrical Grinding 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 AZ31B Magnesium run consistently from one batch to the next.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Cylindrical Grinding AZ31B Magnesium
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Size (OD, ID, thickness) | ±0.005 mm | ±0.002 mm |
| Flatness over 100 mm | 0.010 mm | 0.003 mm |
| Parallelism | 0.010 mm | 0.003 mm |
| Roundness | 0.005 mm | 0.002 mm |
| Squareness | 0.010 mm | 0.005 mm |
| Surface finish | Ra 0.4 µm | Ra 0.1 µm |
| Workpiece hardness | up to 62 HRC | up to 65 HRC |
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.
Why AZ31B Magnesium?
AZ31B 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.
Design Tips for CNC Cylindrical Grinding AZ31B Magnesium
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Allowing adequate grind stock, specifying realistic flatness over the true datum, and relieving corners help us hit tight tolerances on AZ31B Magnesium efficiently. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding 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 AZ31B Magnesium part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished AZ31B 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.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding Tolerances & Surface Finish
Ground AZ31B Magnesium reaches single-micron tolerances on size, flatness and parallelism, with surface finishes down to Ra 0.1–0.4 µm — and a near-mirror finish on suitable alloys.
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.
Applications of CNC Cylindrical Grinding AZ31B Magnesium
Customers order CNC Cylindrical Grinding AZ31B 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 Cylindrical Grinding AZ31B 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 Cylindrical Grinding AZ31B 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 AZ31B 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.
