CNC Waterjet Cutting ZK60 Magnesium is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. ZK60 Magnesium is ultralight with excellent machinability, and we combine controlled cutting with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Capability for ZK60 Magnesium
- Lightest structural metal (~1.8 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- High strength-to-weight
- Damping capacity
Machining ZK60 Magnesium with CNC Waterjet Cutting
ZK60 Magnesium behaves predictably under CNC Waterjet Cutting 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 ZK60 Magnesium run consistently from one batch to the next.
Why ZK60 Magnesium?
ZK60 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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished ZK60 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 Waterjet Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Laser-cut ZK60 Magnesium holds contour tolerances around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness, with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge.
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.
CNC Waterjet Cutting 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 ZK60 Magnesium part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Waterjet Cutting ZK60 Magnesium
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Keeping holes no smaller than the material thickness, allowing for kerf, and grouping features sensibly improves edge quality and nesting yield on ZK60 Magnesium. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.

What is CNC Waterjet Cutting ZK60 Magnesium and how is it done?
CNC Waterjet Cutting ZK60 Magnesium refers to abrasive waterjet cutting erodes metal with a high-pressure abrasive stream, with no heat-affected zone. 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.
Can VT machining make custom ZK60 Magnesium parts to my drawing?
Yes. ZK60 Magnesium ZK60 Magnesium cutting 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.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Waterjet Cutting ZK60 Magnesium?
CNC Waterjet Cutting prototypes for ZK60 Magnesium can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Waterjet Cutting ZK60 Magnesium?
Laser-cut ZK60 Magnesium thickness depends on the alloy and its reflectivity; we tune the fiber source and assist gas accordingly.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Waterjet Cutting on ZK60 Magnesium?
Laser cutting leaves ZK60 Magnesium with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
