Magnesium
Strengths
- Low density
- Good shock absorption performance
- Good casting performance
- Good cutting performance
- Good electromagnetic shielding performance
- Good biocompatibility
- Recyclability
- High specific strength and specific stiffness
Weaknesses
- Easy to burn: Magnesium alloys are relatively susceptible to corrosion and oxidation in humid environments. To enhance their corrosion resistance, surface treatments such as anodizing or coating are commonly applied.
- Magnesium alloys are also prone to combustion at high temperatures, releasing significant heat and intense light. In aerospace and automotive applications, especially in high-temperature areas like engine compartments, fire-resistant coatings or thermal insulation materials are often used to mitigate this risk.
Applications
- Aerospace: Due to their low density and high specific strength. For example, they are used in aircraft wings, fuselage frames, and seat frames.
- Automotive: Magnesium alloys are mainly used to reduce vehicle weight, improve fuel efficiency, and lower emissions. For example, they are used in car wheels, engine mounts, transmission housings, and seat frames.
- Electronic: Due to their low density, good electromagnetic shielding, and high vibration damping. For example, they are used in the casings of laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
- Medical: Magnesium alloys are biocompatible and can be absorbed in the human body, so they are used to make absorbable implants, such as bone screws and stents.
- Sports: Due to their high strength and low density. They can improve the stability and distance of the golf swing.
