Density of magnesium alloy

Magnesium alloy is an alloy composed of magnesium and other elements. Its characteristics are: low density (1.8g/m3), high specific strength, high modulus of elasticity, good heat dissipation, good vibration damping, the ability to withstand impact loads than aluminum alloys, and good corrosion resistance to organics and alkalis. The main alloying elements are aluminum, zinc, manganese, copper, iron and a small amount of zirconium or cadmium. Currently the most widely used is magnesium aluminum alloy, followed by magnesium manganese alloy and magnesium zinc alloy. Mainly used in aviation, aerospace, transportation, chemical, rocket and other industrial sectors.

Magnesium alloy has low density, good specific performance, good shock absorption performance, good electrical and thermal conductivity, good process performance, poor corrosion resistance, easy to oxidize and burn ra, poor heat resistance.

Its processing and corrosion and mechanical properties have many characteristics: fast heat dissipation, light weight, good rigidity, a certain degree of corrosion resistance and dimensional stability impact resistance, wear resistance, good attenuation properties and easy to recycle; in addition there is a high degree of thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, non-magnetic, shielding and non-toxicity characteristics.

Aplications: Magnesium alloys are widely used in portable devices and in the automotive industry for lightweighting purposes..
