Magnesium alloy is an alloy based on magnesium with other elements added. Its characteristics include low density (about 1.8g/cm³), high strength, large elastic modulus, good heat dissipation, shock absorption, and good corrosion resistance. Advancements and Applications of Magnesium Alloys are more and more notice and valued in metal industery. Magnesium metal generally exists in the form of magnesium ingots. Except Mg metal, other alloying elements of magnesium alloys mainly include aluminum, zinc, manganese, cerium, thorium, etc. Some times a small amount of zirconium or cadmium as well.
At present, Common Magnesium Alloy Models mainly include magnesium aluminum alloy, magnesium manganese alloy and magnesium zinc zirconium alloy. Applications of Magnesium Alloys are wide. Due to its high strength, high stiffness and lightweight properties, magnesium alloys occupy an important position among practical metals. The growing market demand for lightweight and high-performance materials has also led to the widespread use of magnesium alloys.
Applications of Magnesium Alloys in the automotive field: magnesium alloys can effectively reduce vehicle body weight. Magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy are two ideal materials for lightweighting automobiles. Magnesium alloy materials may be the most direct and effective solution to lightweight automobiles.
In the field of electronic products, traditional materials have gradually been unable to meet demand. Magnesium alloy has become an ideal material for manufacturing electronic device casings. This is due to its excellent properties, and has broad application prospects in electronics and home appliances.
Magnesium alloy has the characteristics of high specific strength, high specific stiffness, good dimensional stability, good thermal and electrical conductivity, strong vibration resistance, easy processing and recycling, etc. Therefore, it has also suitable in the aerospace field, becoming aircraft, missiles, One of the important component materials such as spacecraft.
Mg Ingot and Aluminium Magnesium alloy Applications
In addition, magnesium ingot also have a wide range of applications. Magnesium and Silicon metal are alloying elements that improve the strength and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys. Aluminum-magnesium alloy is light, hard, corrosion-resistant, weldable, and surface-treatable. It is an important material for manufacturing aircraft, rockets, speedboats, vehicles, etc. In addition, magnesium ingots are used to increase the strength and improve dimensional stability of zinc die-cast alloys, as well as in the production of other zinc products. Magnesium is also used as various alloying elements, such as nickel-based alloys, nickel-copper alloys, nickel-copper-zinc alloys, to improve the properties of alloy materials.
