Magnesium Alloy Die Casting
Magnesium alloy is a light-weight and high-strength metal material. It has excellent compression resistance, fatigue resistance, shock resistance and damping properties. Due to its lightweight capability and good electromagnetic compatibility. At present, the common magnesium alloy materials are AZ91, AM60, AZ31, WE43, ZE41, etc. They have different strength, plasticity and corrosion resistance, which can meet the needs of different fields.

MindWell magnesium die casting process
There are several types of magnesium alloy casting processes, including die casting, sand casting, and investment casting. Depending on the desired application and production requirements, we can offer different process services.
Melting and pouring
Magnesium is melted in a furnace and poured into a preheated mold.
Cooling
The mold containing the molten magnesium cools and solidifies the metal, forming the desired shape.
emoval
After the metal has fully solidified, the cast product is removed from the mold using various techniques such as mechanical ejectors or hydraulic punches.
Finishing
After removal, the cast product goes through a finishing process to remove any rough edges or surface imperfections.
Machining and assembly
Finally, magnesium castings undergo further processing, such as machining and assembly, before they are ready for use.
What are the materials of magnesium alloy
Magnesium alloy is a light-weight and high-strength metal material. It has excellent compression resistance, fatigue resistance, shock resistance and damping properties. Due to its lightweight capability and good electromagnetic compatibility, magnesium alloys are widely used in aviation, automotive, electronics, medical and sports fields.
At present, the common magnesium alloy materials are AZ91, AM60, AZ31, WE43, ZE41, etc. They have different strength, plasticity and corrosion resistance, which can meet the needs of different fields.
- AZ91 has the highest magnesium content, about 9%, and has high strength and hardness, but poor toughness;
- The magnesium content of AM60 is slightly lower, the strength and hardness are moderate, and the toughness is better;
- AZ31 has the lowest magnesium content, about 3%, and its strength is weaker, but its toughness and machinability are better;
- WE43 and ZE41 are rare earth magnesium alloys with high strength and good high temperature performance;
- Different materials also have differences in processing and welding, and corresponding processes need to be selected;
- There are also differences in uses, such as AM60 is often used in automotive components;
- WE43 and ZE41 are suitable for use in high temperature environment;
- AZ91 is used in the aerospace field, etc.
