Hello all
I have an interesting aero space part I need to machine. Sorry I cant send any pictures, prints, ext.
The part starts as a 2-1/2 x 20-3/4 x 21-1/4. It has large pockets on both the flat sides and some on all sides as well. Obviously they are making this thing as light as possible. My question to the community when machining Magnesium AZ31B-H24. Is this stuff really stable when removing large amounts from both side? I have a flatness callout of .005 that I need to hit. The end product will be 2 inches thick and very hollow. I am worried about it warping.
I only get one shot at this......no stress....
Thanks
