Magnesium Alloy Tube with Outside Diameter 140mm is one of the Magnesium Alloy Tube.After the round tube blank is made through melting and casting processes, extrusion technology is commonly used. Our company has a mature extrusion process, for example, a 7500-ton extruder is used to deform the raw billet, followed by a twin-action 3600t extruder to extrude the tube blank into a magnesium alloy pipe with an outer diameter of 140mm. Meanwhile, Magnesium Alloy Plate,Magnesium Alloy Rod and some other magnesium alloy products also use this process.
Magnesium alloy has distinct advantages over other metals. First of all, magnesium alloy has a low density and weight, making it easy to handle and install, while also possessing high strength that can withstand certain pressures and external forces. Secondly, it has good corrosion resistance, in atmospheric environments, magnesium alloy surfaces can form a layer of oxide film that provides some protection and enhances corrosion resistance. Thirdly, it has good thermal conductivity. It can quickly conduct heat and are suitable for applications requiring heat dissipation. Fourthly, it is highly machinable. It is easy to machine, including turning, drilling, bending, etc., and can meet different design requirements.
Magnesium alloy tubes can be used in aerospace, automotive industry, electronics, and other fields. In the automotive industry, their specific applications are concentrated in the following key components:
Chassis system: Used to manufacture control arms, steering knuckles, and other parts. Reducing the weight of the chassis can improve vehicle handling response speed and reduce energy consumption.
Power system: As a material for engine oil coolers and transmission cooling pipes, it utilizes its good thermal conductivity to dissipate heat quickly, ensuring the stable operation of the power system. Some models also use magnesium alloy tubes for their intake and exhaust manifolds to reduce the weight of the exhaust system.
Body structure: Applied in the battery pack frames and body support beams of new energy vehicles, it reduces the overall weight of the vehicle, increases range, while also considering structural strength to ensure crash safety.
Suspension system: Used for suspension spring sleeves and other parts. The lightweight characteristic can reduce the unsprung mass of the suspension system, improving ride smoothness. These applications can effectively reduce automotive energy consumption (especially for new energy vehicles, it can directly increase range), while meeting the vehicle's requirements for structural strength and safety.
