Precision machining of custom magnesium alloy parts conductive oxidation surface treatment

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

CNC turning involves securing the magnesium alloy workpiece in a chuck and rotating it against cutting tools. This method is ideal for creating cylindrical or conical shapes, such as shafts, pins, and threaded components.

Drilling

Drilling is a CNC machining process that creates holes in the magnesium alloy workpiece using rotary cutting tools. Precise drilling is crucial for many applications, and CNC machines deliver the accuracy required for intricate hole patterns.

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.

1-Is magnesium hard to machine?

• 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.

2-Can you CNC magnesium?

• Magnesium is a lightweight metal with high level of machining ability that can be CNC machined to create parts with high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. However, magnesium can be difficult to machine due to its tendency to ignite or explode if proper precautions are not taken

3-How many machines do you have?

• We currently have more than 60 machines: roughly 40+ CNC mills and 30 Injection mold machine,10+ 3D printers. With our long history of growth, this number is always changing.

4-How do I get a quote?

• To get a quote for all of our services, simply send us your 3D CAD model to us. You'll get an interactive quote within hours with free design feedback. If there are problem areas in the submitted design,we will provide free design feedback(DFM).

5-What types of files do you accept?

• We can accept native SolidWorks or ProE files as well as solid 3D CAD models from other CAD systems output in IGES (.igs), STEP (.stp), ACIS (.sat) or Parasolid (.x_t or .x_b) format.

6-Do you provide First Article of Inspection (FAI) Service?

• We can provide FAI as part of the unlimited offer.

7-What is payment term does your company can be acceptable?

• We can accept T/T (50 prepayment should be paid before start the production; the 50% remaining payment should be paid after finish the project).
