Precision machining of custom magnesium alloy parts conductive oxidation surface treatment
Magnesium is a special metal known for its light weight and excellent strength. It is the third most widely used metal after iron and aluminum, and plays a vital role in many industries. Magnesium is becoming more and more popular in CNC machining because of its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It also highly values its excellent machinability and ability to manufacture complex and precision components. Despite flammability issues, magnesium offers unrivalled advantages in high-performance applications as long as the proper precautions are taken.
JYH Manufacturing Capabilities
We have 60 CNC machining centers, 10 CNC lathes, 5 CNC longitudinal

manufacturing flexibility. Our engineers select the ideal equipment
for an application based on the geometry, material, and volume of
the part being machined to provide customers with premium quality
parts at the good price.
CNC Machining Methods for Magnesium Alloys
CNC Milling CNC Milling is one of the most common CNC machining methods used for magnesium alloys. During the milling process, rotary cutting tools remove material from a workpiece to create the desired shape. This method is highly versatile and suitable for both simple and complex geometries. | CNC turning
|
Drilling
| Cutting Cutting Utilizes high power to cut magnesium alloy sheets or plates with excellent accuracy. This method is particularly effective for producing thin and complex parts quickly and efficiently. |
CNC machining of magnesium parts
Automotive: For lightweight components such as engine blocks and transmissions.
Aerospace: Ideal structural components for reducing overall aircraft weight and improving fuel efficiency.
Electronics: Common in electronic housings and radiators due to excellent
thermal management.
Medical devices: Implants and devices that are essential for weight reduction.
Military and defense: Due to its superior strength-to-weight ratio, it is used in
military applications such as missile and aircraft components, as
well as equipment casings.
Robotics and automation: In robotics, magnesium components are favored for their
lightweight and high strength, which ensures efficient movement and
enhanced durability.
Application in digital SLR camera
Magnesium alloy has low density, high strength and certain corrosion resistance. For this reason, it is often used as the skeleton of a SLR camera. Under normal circumstances, medium and high-end, professional digital SLR cameras will use magnesium alloy as the skeleton. The frame made of magnesium alloy is durable and feels good.
