Magnesium Metal

Product Description

Magnesium (Mg) is a light, medium-hard, silvery-white metal that is flammable in air and emits a dazzling light when it burns. It has high strength, good heat dissipation and shock absorption, and is easy to weld, forge, cast or machined. Due to its low density, it is the lightest structural metal (one-third lighter than aluminum), so it can improve mechanical, manufacturing and welding characteristics when used as an alloying agent. It also has good electrical properties.

Magnesium metal is a very abundant, light and reactive element, which is essential to life. In nature, magnesium metal is found in many minerals, like in talc. Magnesium metal burns with a bright, white flame reaching temperature of more than 3000 Kelvin.

Specification

Characteristics of Magnesium

Low density

Susceptible to oxidation and corrosion

Reasonable electrical conductivity

Can form a variety of alloys with other elements

High strength-to-weight ratio (this property is especially pronounced in magnesium alloys)

Good thermal conductivity (magnesium alloys maintain this property)

Excellent castability (primarily attributed to magnesium alloys)

Biocompatible and biodegradable (mainly relevant to biodegradable magnesium alloys)

Relatively soft and ductile (this property varies depending on the specific alloy composition)

Application

The application of magnesium metal is mainly concentrated in aluminum production, die-casting and steel desulfurization, meanwhile, magnesium metal also has a wide range of uses in rare earth alloys, cathodic protection materials, metal reductants and chemical industry. Among them, magnesium alloys have the broadest application prospects. Magnesium material metal alloys are widely used in aerospace, automotive parts, 3C products and other fields because of their good processing performance, light weight, high toughness, good shielding, strong anti-vibration and noise reduction performance.
