Magnesium alloys are considered to be in the vanguard of advanced materials. They are lightweight, with a density of 1.8 g/cm 3, (approximately two thirds that of aluminium alloys) and have the ...

Magnesium has attributes that make it a very desirable manufacturing material. It has the lowest density of all structural metals, making it ideal for applications in which weight saving is a priority ...

Researchers at the North American Die Casting Assoc. (NADCA), Wheeling, Ill., are developing a die-casting material and process that improves mechanical properties of aluminum and magnesium alloys and ...

FisherCast Global Corp. Peterborough, Ont. Magnesium alloys increasingly replace aluminum, zinc, and other materials in structural automotive parts because they are much lighter. Magnesium's low ...
