Magnesium alloys are alloys composed of magnesium-based and other elements. Magnesium alloy plate is characterized by: low density (about 1.8g/cm3 magnesium alloy), high specific strength, large elastic modulus, good shock absorption, higher impact load capacity than aluminum alloy, and good corrosion resistance to organic substances and alkalis . Today, let's learn the characteristics and uses of Magnesium alloy plate.

At present, the most widely used is magnesium-aluminum alloy, followed by magnesium-manganese alloy and magnesium-zinc-zirconium alloy. Mainly used in aviation, aerospace, transportation, chemical, rocket and other industrial sectors. It is the lightest metal in practical metals, and the specific gravity of magnesium is about 2/3 of that of aluminum and 1/4 of that of iron. It is the lightest metal among practical metals, with high strength and high rigidity.
The application parts of Magnesium alloy plate in automobiles can be classified into two categories.
1. Shell class. Such as clutch housing, valve cover, instrument panel, gearbox body, crankcase, engine front cover, cylinder head, air conditioner casing, etc.
2. Brackets. Such as steering wheel, steering bracket, brake bracket, seat frame, mirror bracket, distribution bracket, etc.
Application on digital SLR cameras
Magnesium alloy plate has certain anti-corrosion properties due to its low density and high strength, and is often used as the skeleton of SLR cameras. Generally, high-end and professional digital SLR cameras use magnesium alloy as the skeleton, which makes it durable and feels good.
