CNC Sinker EDM AZ31B Magnesium is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. AZ31B Magnesium is ultralight with excellent machinability, and we combine controlled EDM machining with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Sinker EDM Capability for AZ31B Magnesium
- Lightest structural metal (~1.8 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- High strength-to-weight
- Damping capacity
Machining AZ31B Magnesium with CNC Sinker EDM
AZ31B Magnesium behaves predictably under CNC Sinker EDM 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.
Design Tips for CNC Sinker EDM AZ31B Magnesium
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. 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.
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.
CNC Sinker EDM 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.
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.
CNC Sinker EDM 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.
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.
Applications of CNC Sinker EDM AZ31B Magnesium
Customers order CNC Sinker EDM 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.
