Whether to continue to use conventional steel also depends on the specific needs and circumstances. Here are some considerations for magnesium alloy forgings: Weight: Magnesium alloy is lighter than traditional steel and has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. If you need to reduce weight and improve energy efficiency in your products, then magnesium alloy may be a good choice. Strength: Although magnesium alloys have advantages in terms of weight, in some cases they may not be as strong as traditional steel. You need to assess the environment and requirements of the product to ensure that the strength of the magnesium alloy meets the requirements. Corrosion resistance: Magnesium alloy has good corrosion resistance, especially in some special environments, such as seawater or chemical exposure, may be more suitable than traditional steel. Processing properties: Magnesium alloy has excellent processing properties and is easy to carry out forging, die casting and forming processes. This makes the production process more efficient and allows for more complex geometries. Cost: Magnesium alloys can be more expensive than some specialty steels. You need to consider the performance requirements and budget constraints of the product to decide whether to choose magnesium alloy. Finally, given that you are referring to magnesium alloy forgings, it is important to note that specific risks, such as oxidation at high temperatures, creep and so on, should also be considered when designing and using this material. Hopefully, these considerations will help you make your decision. If you have any more questions, I’d be happy to answer them.
