Magnesium, a common material for die casting, is increasingly popular for CNC machining becaust it is lightweight and highly machinable in terms of feed rates. Machined magnesium also produces excellent surface finishes due to shorter chips being produced during the machining process. Fictiv offers multiple Magnesium alloys: AZ91D, AZ61B, and AZ31B. Each has slightly different properties, but AZ91D is the most commonly used in die casting and CNC machining.

Magnesium is very similar to most grades of aluminum in terms of overall appearance. Magnesium can be media blasted or tumbled to achieve a multitude of surface finishes. Additionally, powder coating can be applied to achieve more matte/glossy colors.
