Characteristics of magnesium alloy sheet
1). Magnesium alloy sheet is an indispensable material for aviation and aerospace industry. The economic benefit and performance improvement brought by aviation material weight reduction is very significant. The same quality of commercial aircraft and automobile weight reduction brings fuel cost savings. The former is nearly 100 of the latter. In addition, the fuel cost of the fighter is nearly 10 times that of the commercial aircraft. More importantly, the improved maneuverability can greatly improve its combat effectiveness and survivability. Because of this, the aviation industry will take various measures to increase the application of magnesium alloys. The aluminum materials used in aircraft today account for about 85% of the total weight of the aircraft. High-strength, corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy plates perform better than aluminum plates and have advantages in aircraft applications.
2).Magnesium alloy is an ideal structural material for reducing the quality of weapons and equipment, achieving lightweight weaponry and improving the tactical performance of weapons and equipment. Military applications, such as helicopters and fighters, must be used in large quantities; tanks, armored vehicles, military jeep, firearms and weapons, etc., can reduce the individual combat system to 6.37Kg. The use of magnesium sheets to make bullet shells and shells doubles the load on individual bullets.
3).The application of vehicles, such as cars, trains, ships, etc., to reduce weight, save energy, reduce pollution, the country is vigorously developing
4).Widely used in 3C products
5).For power applications, magnesium power products are high-energy, non-polluting power sources, such as magnesium-manganese dry batteries, magnesium air batteries, magnesium seawater batteries, torpedo power supplies, and power batteries.
