CNC EDM Drilling AZ31B Magnesium

CNC EDM Drilling AZ31B Magnesium from VT machining delivers precision AZ31B Magnesium parts made to your exact drawing. Fast-hole EDM drilling produces small, deep holes in hard metals, including starter holes for wire EDM, with parameters tuned to AZ31B Magnesium, which is ultralight with excellent machinability.

CNC EDM Drilling Capability for AZ31B Magnesium

• Lightest structural metal (~1.8 g/cm³)
• Excellent machinability
• High strength-to-weight
• Damping capacity

Machining AZ31B Magnesium with CNC EDM Drilling

When EDM machining AZ31B Magnesium, machinability is excellent (fastest of structural metals); fire-safe chip handling required. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.

Documented parameters for AZ31B Magnesium mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.

CNC EDM Drilling Quality & Inspection

Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.

Design Tips for CNC EDM Drilling AZ31B Magnesium

Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened AZ31B Magnesium that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.

Secondary Operations & Finishing

Most AZ31B Magnesium parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.

CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish

EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the AZ31B Magnesium part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.

Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.

Why AZ31B Magnesium?
