High Strength Az91 Magnesium Alloy G97 Billet Magnesium In Automobile

Low Density High Strength Magnesium Alloy Used To Produce Automobile Instrument Panels

Introduction:

Magnesium alloy is the lightest practical metal that can be used for structural materials. Magnesium alloy has significantly better strength and stiffness than plastic, and better impact resistance than aluminum alloy. It is widely used in automobiles, communication electronics and so on. The automobile industry is the industry with the most applications of magnesium alloys and the best prospects.

Classification:

Magnesium alloy plates are divided into thin plates, medium plates and thick plates. Thick plates have high strength and good rigidity, and are mostly used in aerospace and military industries, while medium and thin plates are mostly used in civil industry.

Features:

Due to the good thermal conductivity and low cutting force of magnesium alloys, the heat dissipation rate during processing is very fast, so the tool life is long and the amount of sticking to the tool is small, which can reduce tool costs and shorten the downtime required for tool replacement.

Because magnesium is easy to cut, its chip breaking performance is very good, and generally only one finishing operation is needed to achieve the required final surface finish.

Application:

The automotive industry and the electronics industry have become the industries with the greatest demand for magnesium alloys. Using magnesium alloys in automobiles can reduce the weight by 20% to 25% compared with aluminum alloys. Magnesium alloy extrusions can be used for automotive bearing parts, such as seat frames, window frames, chassis frames, wheel hubs, etc. Thin-wall magnesium alloy extruded pipe fittings are used in automobiles, and due to their small cross-sectional area, they can provide significant weight savings. Magnesium alloy sheets are used in the manufacture of outer panels for automotive body parts (such as doors, hoods, guard panels, roof panels, etc.), which can greatly reduce mass.
