Magnesium alloy forgings: Why are companies switching to it?

Magnesium alloy forgings are widely used in enterprises, mainly for the following reasons: Light weight and high strength: Magnesium alloy is a light metal material, its density is only 2/3 of aluminum alloy, but has high strength and rigidity. Compared with traditional steel materials, the use of magnesium alloy forgings can greatly reduce the weight of parts, which is very beneficial to improve the fuel economy of the product, reduce energy consumption and improve the overall performance. Good plasticity and processability: magnesium alloy has excellent plasticity and can be formed by forging, extrusion, rolling and other processing processes. Compared with other metal materials, the deformation energy of magnesium alloy in the forging process is relatively low, and the adaptability is strong, and it is easy to be processed into complex shaped parts, and even can be formed once. Excellent corrosion resistance: Magnesium alloy has good corrosion resistance and can maintain good stability in atmospheric environment and water medium. This makes magnesium alloy forgings widely used in Marine engineering, aerospace, automotive and other fields. Good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity: magnesium alloy has a high thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, making magnesium alloy forgings can effectively conduct heat and current, suitable for application in the field that needs heat dissipation or conduction, such as electronic equipment, radiators, etc. Recyclability: Magnesium alloy has good recyclability, which can reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution through recycling. In general, magnesium alloy forgings with its light weight and high strength, good plasticity and processability, excellent corrosion resistance, good thermal and electrical conductivity and recyclability and other characteristics, become the preferred material chosen by many enterprises.
