VT machining specialises in CNC Honing AZ31B Magnesium. Because AZ31B Magnesium is ultralight with excellent machinability, and its machinability is excellent (fastest of structural metals); fire-safe chip handling required, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Honing Capability for AZ31B Magnesium
- Lightest structural metal (~1.8 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- High strength-to-weight
- Damping capacity
Machining AZ31B Magnesium with CNC Honing
AZ31B Magnesium behaves predictably under CNC Honing 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.
CNC Honing 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.
Design Tips for CNC Honing AZ31B Magnesium
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Telling us the target Ra, the cosmetic faces and any masking needs lets us finish AZ31B Magnesium efficiently without over-processing. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Honing Tolerances & Surface Finish
Finishing brings AZ31B Magnesium to a defined roughness target — from a uniform satin to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm — with controlled, repeatable edge breaks.
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 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.
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.
Applications of CNC Honing AZ31B Magnesium
Customers order CNC Honing 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.

Why is AZ31B Magnesium a good choice for CNC Honing?
AZ31B Magnesium is ultralight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Honing. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished AZ31B Magnesium finishing part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Honing AZ31B Magnesium?
Achievable tolerances for AZ31B Magnesium finishing depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Can VT machining make custom AZ31B Magnesium parts to my drawing?
Yes. AZ31B Magnesium AZ31B Magnesium finishing is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Honing AZ31B Magnesium?
We machine AZ31B Magnesium across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
What surface finish is achievable on AZ31B Magnesium with CNC Honing?
Our finishing processes refine AZ31B Magnesium surfaces to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm for cosmetic or sealing faces.
