8.5 Magnesium alloy plate

Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element in the earth's crust, and magnesium alloy is also known as the "green engineering material of the 21st century".

The reason for this title is that magnesium alloy is the lightest engineering metal material in current engineering applications. It has the characteristics of high strength-to-weight ratio, good thermal conductivity, and easy recycling. It has been widely used in automotive industry, aerospace, communications and other industries.

Magnesium alloy has various processing methods,including：

Casting: Magnesium alloys have good Processing performance and are suitable for pressure casting and gravity casting. They are used to manufacture automotive parts, 3C product housings, etc.

Extrusion and rolling: The cast magnesium alloy ingots are extruded and rolled to form semi-finished products such as plates, bars, and pipes.

Forging: Forging of magnesium alloys is suitable for producing high-strength parts such as automobile wheels, aircraft parts, etc.

Machining: Magnesium alloys are easy to cut and shape, and are suitable for CNC machining and other machining technologies.

Aerospace: Due to its lightweight properties, magnesium alloys are widely used in structural components of aircraft and spacecraft.

Automotive industry: Used to manufacture lightweight automotive parts such as wheels, engine components, seat frames, etc. to improve fuel efficiency.

Electronic equipment: Used to manufacture housings and internal brackets for portable electronic devices such as laptops, mobile phones, and cameras.

Medical equipment: Due to its light weight and biocompatibility, magnesium alloys are suitable for the manufacture of orthopedic implants and medical devices.

Sports equipment: The lightweight design of sports equipment such as bicycles benefits from the use of magnesium alloys.
