Characteristics of Magnesium Alloy

Industrial pure magnesium has low strength, poor plasticity, low corrosion resistance, and cannot be used as structural materials.

Add aluminum, manganese, zinc, zirconium and other elements to magnesium to prepare magnesium alloys of different grades, which can significantly improve the strength. For example, the tensile strength and yield strength of magnesium alloy rods in artificial aging state with zinc and zirconium added Able to achieve the strength level of mild steel.

Depending on the production process, magnesium alloys can be divided into cast magnesium alloys and deformed magnesium alloys.

Cast magnesium alloys are either die-cast or sand-cast.
Many magnesium alloys can be made into both cast magnesium alloys and deformed magnesium alloys.

Deformed magnesium alloy can be used to manufacture various magnesium plates, magnesium rods, magnesium profiles, magnesium coils, magnesium pipes, magnesium wires, forgings and grinding parts, and forgings.

These magnesium alloys can be strengthened by heat treatment, but some cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. After forging and extrusion, deformed magnesium alloys have higher strength than cast magnesium alloys of the same composition and can be processed into parts with more complex shapes.
