Uses: Magnesium alloys are widely used in portable equipment and automobile industry to achieve the purpose of lightweight.
Although the specific gravity of magnesium alloy is heavier than that of plastic, the strength and elasticity per unit weight are higher than that of plastic, so magnesium alloy parts can be made thinner and lighter than plastic under the same strength. In addition, because the specific strength of magnesium alloy is higher than that of aluminum alloy and iron, the weight of aluminum or iron parts can be reduced without reducing the strength of parts.
Application: The size of LCD screens on mobile phones and notebook computers is increasing year by year, and its supporting frame and back shell are made of magnesium alloy.
Thermal conductivity: Although the thermal conductivity of magnesium alloy is not as good as that of aluminum alloy, it is several times higher than that of plastic. Therefore, magnesium alloy is used in electrical products, which can effectively dissipate the heat inside to the outside.
Uses: Magnesium alloy is used for the shell and heat dissipation parts of computers and projectors that generate high temperature inside. Using magnesium alloy on TV shell can realize no heat dissipation holes.
Electromagnetic shielding: the electromagnetic shielding performance of magnesium alloy is better than that of electroplating shielding film on plastic, so the electroplating process of electromagnetic shielding film can be omitted when magnesium alloy is used.
Uses: Magnesium alloy is used as mobile phone shell and shielding material.
Machinability: the cutting resistance of magnesium alloy is smaller than that of other metals, so it can be processed at a faster speed.

Aluminum alloy 1.8
Brass 2.3
Cast iron 3.5
Good sag resistance: Compared with other metals, magnesium alloy has greater deformation resistance, and sag caused by collision is smaller than other metals.
Yeah, vibration? Shock absorption: Because magnesium alloy has good absorption performance of vibration energy, it can reduce vibration when used in driving and transmission parts. In addition, magnesium alloy has good impact energy absorption performance and better elongation than aluminum alloy, and can absorb impact energy without breaking after impact.
Usage: Magnesium alloy is used for components close to vibration source, such as reading device of hard disk drive. If magnesium alloy is used in fan blades, vibration can be reduced and low noise can be achieved. In addition, in order to improve the absorption of impact force and reduce the weight of the car after being hit, the steering wheel and seat are made of magnesium alloy.
Creep resistance: with the change of time and temperature, the dimensional creep of magnesium is small.
Recycling: Unlike plastics, magnesium alloys can be simply recycled without reducing their mechanical properties, while plastics are difficult to recycle without reducing their mechanical properties. Compared with other metals, magnesium alloy has low melting point and small specific heat, and the energy consumed in the process of regenerative melting is 4% of the energy consumed in manufacturing new materials.

Magnesium alloy has the highest relative specific strength (the ratio of strength to mass). The specific stiffness (the ratio of stiffness to mass) is close to that of aluminum alloy and steel, and much higher than that of engineering plastics.
In the elastic range, when magnesium alloy is subjected to impact load, the energy absorbed is half that of aluminum alloy, so magnesium alloy has good seismic and noise reduction performance.
The melting point of magnesium alloy is lower than that of aluminum alloy, and its die-casting formability is good. The tensile strength of magnesium alloy castings is equivalent to that of aluminum alloy castings, which can generally reach 250MPA and the highest can reach more than 600 Mpa. The yield strength and elongation are similar to those of aluminum alloy.
Magnesium alloy also has good corrosion resistance, electromagnetic shielding performance and radiation protection performance, and can be recycled at 100%.
Magnesium alloy parts have high stability, high precision of casting line dimensions of die-casting parts, and can be processed with high precision.
Magnesium alloy has good die casting formability, and the minimum wall thickness of die casting can reach 0.5 mm. Suitable for manufacturing all kinds of automobile die castings.
The earliest application of magnesium alloy in automobile was the casting of crankshaft connecting rod box of London city bus in 1930s. During that time, more than 500,000 tractor gearbox shells were produced and are still being produced. In the automobile powertrain, Volkswagen (VW) is the company with the largest number of magnesium applications. The weight of these parts is 17 kg, which is 50 kg lighter than the iron castings it replaces.
With the continuous expansion of the market demand for magnesium products, from the wide application of aviation, aerospace, auto parts, steel desulfurization, alloy die casting and 3C products to the continuous research and development of civil products and further research on magnesium alloy technology, the development of magnesium products has increasingly shown its unique and irreplaceable advantages. At the same time, because of its good processability, strong mechanical properties, light weight, good toughness, good shielding performance, especially its strong recycling performance, magnesium alloys are increasingly favored by people.
