VT machining provides CNC Swiss Machining Molybdenum for customers who need accurate, repeatable Molybdenum components. Because Molybdenum is very high melting point and thermal stability, we adapt the process to suit — controlling the variables that matter for this alloy.
CNC Swiss Machining Capability for Molybdenum
- Ø1–32 mm bar
- Slenderness without deflection
- Tolerance to ±0.003 mm
- High-volume small parts
How CNC Swiss Machining Molybdenum Works
The Molybdenum bar or billet rotates in the spindle while single-point tools shape outer diameters, bores, faces, grooves and threads. Constant surface speed control keeps cutting conditions stable from large to small diameters.
We start from your supplied geometry and tolerance scheme. The setup is designed to minimise re-clamping, which protects positional accuracy across features. A first article is verified against the drawing before the balance of the batch is released.
Working with Molybdenum
Molybdenum is very high melting point and thermal stability. We translate those properties into a process plan: the right tooling, speeds, feeds and fixturing for the alloy.
Where the grade, temper or heat-treat condition matters to performance, we confirm it with you and can supply material certificates. Material is procured to recognised standards for consistent, repeatable results.
CNC Swiss Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned Molybdenum holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most Molybdenum parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
CNC Swiss Machining Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
Design Tips for CNC Swiss Machining Molybdenum
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help Molybdenum turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Swiss Machining Molybdenum
Molybdenum parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.
How to Order CNC Swiss Machining Molybdenum

What surface finish is achievable on Molybdenum with CNC Swiss Machining?
Surface finish on Molybdenum is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Why is Molybdenum a good choice for CNC Swiss Machining?
Molybdenum is very high melting point and thermal stability, which makes it well suited to CNC Swiss Machining. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Molybdenum turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Which industries use CNC Swiss Machining Molybdenum parts?
CNC Swiss Machining Molybdenum parts are used across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor and general industrial sectors — anywhere precise Molybdenum components are required.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Swiss Machining on Molybdenum?
Machined Molybdenum edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
