More and more people are deciding to buy a bicycle. Cycling provides a great workout, a traffic-free form of transportation, and can be a lot of fun. However, figuring out which bike to buy can be a daunting task. With so many different types of bikes on the market, along with so many different bike frames, your options are nearly limitless.

Building magnesium bike frames is tricky, but their wide range of performance benefits make them well worth considering.
When cyclists are looking for the strongest, lightest bike possible, magnesium may come into play in their quest.
Along with titanium, carbon fiber and even scandium, magnesium has been touted as a better material for bicycle frames than the more traditional steel and aluminum.

Magnesium can be used to design bicycle frames that are lighter than aluminum while maintaining high tensile strength and damping capacity. All of this results in a smoother, more efficient ride. Magnesium is also less expensive than popular lightweight materials like carbon fiber.

Magnesium Bicycle Frames: Manufacturing Challenges
Magnesium can be used to design bicycle frames that are lighter than aluminum while maintaining high tensile strength and damping capacity. All of this results in a smoother, more efficient ride. Magnesium is also less expensive than popular lightweight materials like carbon fiber.

Magnesium is an abundant, lightweight metal with about two-thirds the density of aluminum. The problem is that currently available magnesium alloys lack the strength of other structural metals.

Magnesium alloys have a series of unique advantages, such as low density, high specific toughness and specific stiffness, good castability, strong electromagnetic shielding ability and easy regeneration. The performance and corrosion resistance are relatively poor, which greatly limits the application of magnesium alloys.
