VT machining provides CNC Honing AZ91D Magnesium for customers who need accurate, repeatable AZ91D Magnesium components. The machinability of AZ91D Magnesium is excellent (fastest of structural metals); fire-safe chip handling required, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Honing Capability for AZ91D Magnesium
- Lightest structural metal (~1.8 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- High strength-to-weight
- Damping capacity
Machining AZ91D Magnesium with CNC Honing
The machinability of AZ91D Magnesium is excellent (fastest of structural metals); fire-safe chip handling required. For CNC Honing we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the AZ91D Magnesium workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine AZ91D Magnesium regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Honing AZ91D Magnesium
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Surface roughness | Ra 0.8 µm | Ra 0.05 µm |
| Edge break | 0.1–0.3 mm | 0.05 ±0.02 mm |
| Material removed | 0.02 mm | 0.005 mm |
| Bore roundness after honing | 0.005 mm | 0.002 mm |
| Cross-hatch angle | 45° ±10° | 45° ±5° |
| Cosmetic grade | uniform satin | mirror, no visible lines |
| Masking of datum faces | on request | standard |
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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete AZ91D Magnesium components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.
CNC Honing Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on AZ91D Magnesium parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
Why AZ91D Magnesium?
Specifying AZ91D Magnesium for CNC Honing AZ91D Magnesium is usually about its properties: ultralight with excellent machinability. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.
CNC Honing Tolerances & Surface Finish
Finishing brings AZ91D Magnesium to a defined roughness target — from a uniform satin to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm — with controlled, repeatable edge breaks.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
Design Tips for CNC Honing AZ91D Magnesium
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Telling us the target Ra, the cosmetic faces and any masking needs lets us finish AZ91D Magnesium efficiently without over-processing. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Honing AZ91D Magnesium
CNC Honing of AZ91D Magnesium supports parts across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor, energy and general industrial sectors. We scale from one-off prototypes to ongoing production while holding the same quality.

What We Need to Quote CNC Honing 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.
