What are the characteristics of magnesium alloy plates?

1. The characteristics of magnesium alloy: It is a relatively light metal in practical metals, with a specific gravity of about 2/3 of aluminum and 1/4 of iron. It is a comparative metal among practical metals, with high strength and rigidity.

Application scope: Magnesium alloy is widely used in portable devices and the automotive industry, achieving the goal of lightweight.

2. Although the specific gravity of magnesium alloy plates is heavier than that of plastic, the strength and elasticity per unit weight are higher than that of plastic. Therefore, under the same strength of components, magnesium alloy components can be made thinner and lighter than plastic. In addition, due to the higher specific strength of magnesium alloy compared to aluminum alloy and iron, the weight of aluminum or iron components can be reduced without reducing the strength of the components.

Scope of application: The size of LCD screens on mobile phones and laptops has been increasing year by year, and magnesium alloy has been used on their support frames and back shells.

3. Heat transfer: Although the thermal conductivity of magnesium alloy plates is not as high as that of aluminum alloys, it is tens of times higher than that of plastics. Therefore, when magnesium alloys are used in electrical products, they can effectively dissipate internal heat to the outside.

Application scope: Use magnesium alloy on the casing and heat dissipation components of computers and projectors that generate high temperatures internally. The use of magnesium alloy on the casing of the TV can achieve no heat dissipation holes.

4. Electromagnetic shielding performance: The electromagnetic shielding performance of magnesium alloy plate is better than that of electroplating shielding film on plastic, therefore, using magnesium alloy can save the electroplating process of electromagnetic shielding film.

Application scope: Magnesium alloy is used on the shell and shielding material of mobile phones and telephones.

5. Mechanical processing performance: Magnesium alloys have lower cutting resistance than other metals and can be processed at a faster speed during mechanical processing
