Magnesium Mg metal element 12 pure 99.9% granules for alloy material production

Description:

Magnesium is the lightest commercially used building material. Its density is 1.7 g/cm3. This is less than two thirds of the density of aluminium. Magnesium alloys are four times lighter than steel. In addition, magnesium is easy to machine and can be cast and finished using all standard metalworking processes. Its main area of application is therefore lightweight construction. Magnesium alloys with aluminium, zinc and manganese are particularly common.

Magnesium alloys generally contain more than 90 % magnesium as well as 2 - 9 % aluminium, 1 - 3 % zinc and 0.2 - 1 % manganese.

Magnesium alloys are widely used in aircraft construction. Magnesium plays an important role in metallurgy. It is used as a reducing agent in the production of some precious metals - vanadium, chromium, titanium and zirconium. When added to molten iron, magnesium modifies it, i.e. it improves its structure and mechanical properties. Metallurgists also use magnesium to deoxidise steel and alloys.

Properties of magnesium:

• low density
• good specific strength
• low corrosion resistance
• good castability
• relatively resistant to hydrofluoric acid and alkalis

Main application of magnesium:

• Aircraft construction
• automotive industry
• metallurgy
• Everyday products (flashlight)
• Fasteners
