AZ31B Magnesium in CNC Machining
AZ31B is a lightweight magnesium alloy with good machinability, weldability, and vibration damping. Its aluminum-zinc composition supports higher strength than pure magnesium, making it a versatile choice for aerospace structures, camera bodies, laptop frames, and other weight-sensitive parts.
- Lightweight strength: AZ31B offers a high strength-to-weight ratio for weight-sensitive parts.
- Good machinability: Its machinability supports intricate features and precise CNC components.
- Vibration damping: AZ31B absorbs vibration in aerospace, automotive, and electronic components.
Selection note: Choose AZ31B for lightweight machined components that need a strong strength-to-weight ratio, vibration damping, and weldability. Magnesium chips and dust can ignite, so machining requires appropriate process controls and fire-safety procedures.
