MAGNESIUM ALLOYS

OFFERINGS

Magnesium alloys are noted for low weight, high strength to weight ratio, exceptional damping capacity and ease of machining. Magnesium die casting temperatures are about the same as aluminum and both hot chamber and cold chamber die casting machines are used to produce castings.

VIEW MAGNESIUM ALLOY PROPERTIES

AZ91D

AZ91D is the most commonly used magnesium die cast alloy that has an outstanding combination of mechanical properties, castability, and corrosion resistance.

AZ91HP

This alloy has been specifically developed for corrosive environments, and has lower levels of nickel, iron, copper and silicon than AZ91D.

AM60B

This magnesium alloy has excellent energy absorption characteristics along with excellent ductility. AM50B also has slightly higher strength that AM50A, but with otherwise similar properties
