What Is Magnesium And Alloy?


Magnesium alloys are metal alloys composed primarily of magnesium along with other elements. These alloys are created by combining magnesium with various alloying elements, such as aluminum, zinc, manganese, and rare earth metals. Magnesium alloys are the lightest structural metals with a high strength-to-weight ratio.The addition of these elements imparts specific properties and characteristics to the magnesium, enhancing its strength, corrosion resistance, and other desirable qualities.


Corrosion and mechanical properties have many characteristics: fast heat dissipation, light weight, good rigidity, certain corrosion resistance and dimensional stability, impact resistance, wear resistance, good attenuation performance and easy recycling; in addition, it also has thermal conductivity and High conductivity, non-magnetic, good shielding, non-toxic and so on.




Here are some of the factors that make processing magnesium unique:



Flammability


Magnesium is highly flammable and can ignite at relatively low temperatures. When machining magnesium, the heat generated by cutting and friction poses a fire risk. Special precautions, such as using proper machining techniques, coolant selection, and fire suppression systems, must be taken to mitigate this risk.



Heat Dissipation


Magnesium has a relatively high thermal conductivity, meaning it can conduct and retain heat more effectively than some other materials. This can lead to heat build-up during machining, which may affect tool life and dimensional accuracy. Proper cooling and chip evacuation methods are essential to manage heat dissipation.



Low Cutting Forces


Magnesium alloys are generally softer and have lower strength compared to other metals. This characteristic results in lower cutting forces during machining. While this can be advantageous in terms of reduced tool wear, it may require adjustments in cutting parameters and tool selection to prevent excessive material deformation or chatter.


Chip Control


Magnesium alloys tend to produce long, continuous chips during machining. These chips can be flammable and pose a safety hazard. Effective chip evacuation systems, such as chip breakers or chip conveyors, should be employed to control chip formation and minimize the risk of chip accumulation.



Tool Selection


Appropriate cutting tools are crucial for machining magnesium. Carbide tools are commonly used due to their high heat resistance, hardness, and wear resistance. Coatings like titanium nitride (TiN) or aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) can enhance tool life and performance. Additionally, tools with sharp cutting edges and polished surfaces help reduce heat and improve chip control.


Corrosion Concerns


Magnesium alloys are prone to corrosion, especially when exposed to moisture or certain environments. It is important to consider post-machining processes, such as surface treatments or coatings, to protect the machined magnesium components from corrosion.



PROPERTIES


The chief appeal of magnesium is its weight. Magnesium and its alloys are as light as plastic, but as tough as metal.

When alloyed, magnesium’s strength-to-weight ratio exceeds all other structural metals.

This gives the material a tensile strength on par with steel and aluminum, as well as a low density that’s helpful for

reducing weight — and, in turn, increasing fuel efficiency — in automobiles.


Magnesium is also very easy to machine compared to other metals. Sawing, punching, drilling, milling, turning, and

other processes are smoother when using magnesium, and machining the material requires a significantly lower cutting force and overall production time than other metals.

Five-axis CNC machining uses machines that can move and rotate on five axes at the same time to process parts. Its advantages include its

high suitability for manufacturing parts with complex designs and intricate details, precision, speed and production efficiency.


Magnesium is a versatile material well-suited for various applications across industries. However, even though you can use magnesium alloys

to produce high-quality components with excellent corrosion resistance, magnesium is highly flammable during CNC machining.


Advantages of CNC Machining for Magnesium Alloys


1. Precision and Consistency


Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is a cutting-edge technology that offers unparalleled precision and consistency. The advanced software and automated processes ensure that every component is manufactured to exact specifications, reducing material waste and

improving overall efficiency.


2. Complex Geometries


Magnesium alloys often find applications in parts with intricate designs and complex geometries. CNC machining excels in creating these intricate features with utmost precision, meeting the most demanding requirements of modern engineering projects.


3. Faster Turnaround Times


The streamlined nature of CNC machining drastically reduces production times compared to traditional methods. Rapid prototyping and shorter lead times enable businesses to bring their products to market faster, gaining a competitive edge in their industry.


4. Cost-Effectiveness


Although initial setup costs for CNC machines can be higher, the long-term cost-effectiveness is undeniable. Lower labor costs, minimal material wastage, and reduced rework contribute to substantial savings in the long run.


Quality Inspection


  • In addition to our stringent in-process controls, all components must pass a thorough final inspection.

we have a coordinate measuring machine, salt spray testing machines, profile projectors and other precision

measuring devices, etc.


  • Customers' CAD drawings can be directly imported in the coordinate measuring machines (CMM) for a

direct comparison to the dimensions that are taken from the physical part.


  • All testing is conducted in a 20 degree Celsius climate-controlled inspection room and the CMM is calibrated to

GB/T 16857.2-2006 (ISO10360-2:2001) standards. All components and sub-assemblies are 100% inspected,

identified with a logo if required and a final inspection is generated pertaining to all the critical dimensions.
