Magnesium in CNC Machining
Magnesium combines low weight, a high strength-to-weight ratio, good machinability, and vibration damping. RapidDirect CNC machines AZ31B and AZ91D for lightweight components in aerospace, automotive, electronics, robotics, and industrial applications.
- Lightweight components: Magnesium's low density supports weight reduction in custom parts.
- Efficient machining: Magnesium's machinability supports intricate features and precise components.
- Vibration damping: Magnesium alloys help absorb vibration in automotive, aerospace, and electronic parts.
Selection note: Magnesium chips and dust can ignite. Use appropriate machining controls, chip management, and fire-safety procedures when manufacturing magnesium parts.
