Magnesium components serve as excellent enclosures for electronic and telecommunications equipment. You can also use magnesium alloy die casting to make an efficient thermal imager housing. Different modes of transportation are always for lighter components because lighter vehicles require less power/fuel to run.
This is why many industries use magnesium die casting for body parts in cars, airplanes and even bicycles. Some magnesium alloys have enhanced ductility, creep resistance, corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand high temperatures. Therefore, these properties make it ideal for engine and transmission components. Most businesses requiring an incredibly strong strength-to-weight ratio for light die casting parts choose magnesium over other parts.
This is because magnesium has excellent die casting properties. In fact, most die casting machines use magnesium alloy AZ91D when casting magnesium.
AZ91D is a high purity magnesium alloy that provides excellent corrosion resistance for die cast magnesium components. Besides that, it allows the die casting machine to easily bring the desired shape into the finished product without compromising the quality.
What are the advantages of magnesium die casting?
The main advantages of magnesium die casting are discussed in detail below:
lighter
The specific gravity of magnesium is only 1.74.
Aluminum is about 2.55 and iron is about 7.5.
Therefore, magnesium is 35% lighter than aluminum and 75% lighter than iron.
Therefore, it is considered one of the lightest structural metals.
easy to handle
Magnesium alloy die casting process is simple.
Therefore, they require less time and cost.
It can be a good option when dealing with die casting projects that require too many secondary processes.
good casting ability
Magnesium alloys are known for their casting capabilities.
The high fluidity of magnesium alloys makes them easy to cast.
Therefore, magnesium alloy casting is easier to achieve complex characteristics and thin walls.
Excellent shielding performance
Magnesium components have excellent EMI/RFI shielding properties.
Thus, the magnesium housing protects the electronic components from electromagnetic radiation.
So this is very important for some applications.
Another major advantage of using magnesium castings is lower tooling costs. This will also greatly reduce assembly and welding costs and increase the stiffness of the assembly. Additionally, magnesium is harder and stronger than most advanced engineering plastics, making it a suitable choice for die casting complex parts.
