VT machining offers CNC Honing for ZK60 Magnesium (UNS M16600 / ASTM B107), typically supplied T5. Highest-strength common wrought magnesium.
CNC Honing Notes for ZK60 Magnesium
Honing gives ZK60 Magnesium bores precise size, roundness and a controlled cross-hatch; for soft grades we use fine silicon-carbide stones.

Can VT machining make custom ZK60 Magnesium parts to my drawing?
Yes. ZK60 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.
Why is ZK60 Magnesium a good choice for CNC Honing?
ZK60 Magnesium is ultralight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Honing. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished ZK60 Magnesium finishing part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What surface finish is achievable on ZK60 Magnesium with CNC Honing?
Our finishing processes refine ZK60 Magnesium surfaces to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm for cosmetic or sealing faces.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Honing ZK60 Magnesium?
Achievable tolerances for ZK60 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.
What is CNC Honing ZK60 Magnesium and how is it done?
CNC Honing ZK60 Magnesium refers to honing finishes bores with abrasive stones to precise size, roundness and a cross-hatch surface. Applied to ZK60 Magnesium — ultralight with excellent machinability — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
