VT machining specialises in CNC Waterjet Cutting AZ31B Magnesium. Because AZ31B Magnesium is ultralight with excellent machinability, and its machinability is excellent (fastest of structural metals); fire-safe chip handling required, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Capability for AZ31B Magnesium
- Lightest structural metal (~1.8 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- High strength-to-weight
- Damping capacity
Machining AZ31B Magnesium with CNC Waterjet Cutting
When cutting AZ31B Magnesium, machinability is excellent (fastest of structural metals); fire-safe chip handling required. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for AZ31B Magnesium mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
CNC Waterjet Cutting 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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most AZ31B Magnesium 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.
Design Tips for CNC Waterjet Cutting AZ31B Magnesium
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Keeping holes no smaller than the material thickness, allowing for kerf, and grouping features sensibly improves edge quality and nesting yield on AZ31B Magnesium. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Laser-cut AZ31B Magnesium holds contour tolerances around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness, with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
