CNC Punching AZ31B Magnesium is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. AZ31B Magnesium is ultralight with excellent machinability, and we combine controlled punching with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Punching Capability for AZ31B Magnesium
- Lightest structural metal (~1.8 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- High strength-to-weight
- Damping capacity
Machining AZ31B Magnesium with CNC Punching
The machinability of AZ31B Magnesium is excellent (fastest of structural metals); fire-safe chip handling required. For CNC Punching we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the AZ31B Magnesium workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine AZ31B Magnesium regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Punching AZ31B Magnesium
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Hole position across sheet | ±0.15 mm | ±0.10 mm |
| Hole diameter | ±0.10 mm | ±0.05 mm |
| Overall blank size | ±0.20 mm | ±0.10 mm |
| Minimum hole | 1.0 × thickness | 0.8 × thickness |
| Hole-to-edge distance | 2.0 × thickness | 1.5 × thickness |
| Burr height | 0.08 mm | 0.03 mm (deburred) |
| Sheet thickness range | 0.5–6.0 mm | 0.5–3.0 mm |
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.
CNC Punching Tolerances & Surface Finish
Punched AZ31B Magnesium holds hole-position repeatability around ±0.10 mm across the sheet, with consistent hole quality when punch/die clearance is matched to the gauge.
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.
Why AZ31B Magnesium?
Specifying AZ31B Magnesium for CNC Punching AZ31B Magnesium is usually about its properties: ultralight with excellent machinability. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete AZ31B 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 Punching Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on AZ31B 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.
Design Tips for CNC Punching AZ31B Magnesium
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Keeping hole-to-edge and hole-to-hole distances at least 1.5–2× thickness avoids distortion and tearing in punched AZ31B Magnesium. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Punching AZ31B Magnesium
CNC Punching of AZ31B 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 Punching 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.
