Magnesium alloy is the third largest metal engineering material after steel and aluminum. It is known as "21st century green engineering material" and has many excellent advantages and prospects. Magnesium alloy materials are mainly used in chemical industry, electronic industry, transportation industry, aerospace industry and other industries.

Specification

Description

1. Light Weight

Magnesium alloy is a kind of high performance light structural material with magnesium as the raw material. Its specific gravity is similar to that of plastics. Its density is only 1.7 kg/m3, which is two-thirds of aluminum, steel, and about a quarter of the strength higher than that of aluminum alloy and steel.

2. Ability

Magnesium alloy plate is able to withstand a certain load, with good castability and dimensional stability. It is also easy processing, having low rejection rate as well as good damping coefficient.

3. Used Field

Magnesium alloy plate or sheet is used in car production, aerospace, portable computers, mobile phones, electrical appliances, sports equipment and other fields.

Advantages

• Small density but high strength and good rigidity

Among the existing engineering metals, magnesium has the smallest density, at 1/5 of that of steel, 1/4 of that of zinc, and 2/3 of that of aluminum. The good rigidity performance of magnesium alloy is very beneficial to the design of the electronic component.

• Good toughness and strong shock absorption

Magnesium alloy bar tends to deform greatly when subjected to external forces. However, when subjected to impact loading, the energy absorbed is 1.5 times that of aluminum, so it is suitable for the parts that should be impacted -- wheels; Magnesium alloy has a high damping capacity and is an ideal material to avoid fatigue caused by vibration and noise.

• Low heat capacity, fast solidification speed and good casting

Magnesium alloy sheet is a good casting material, and it has good fluidity and rapid solidification rate, so it can be produced in fine surface, sharp edges and corners of the parts, and can prevent excessive shrinkage to ensure dimensional tolerance.

• High production efficiency

Due to the low heat capacity of magnesium alloy, its production efficiency is 40% ~ 50% higher, and the casting size is not only stable, but also the precision is high with good finish surface.
