Magnesium alloys are lightweight, high-strength materials known for their excellent machinability and good thermal and electrical conductivity. As the lightest structural metals available, they are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries where reducing weight without compromising strength is crucial. These alloys typically include elements such as aluminum, zinc, manganese, and rare earth metals to improve corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. While pure magnesium is highly reactive, its alloys offer a balance of performance and stability, making them ideal for applications where weight savings and material efficiency are critical.
AZ31-TP is a wrought magnesium alloy with good strength, vibration absorption, and corrosion resistance. Magnesium is notably lighter than aluminum while still maintaining its strength, making handling easier for your crew. Magnesium tooling plate is also very stable, with minimal warping and denting. This can save you money over the span of your manufacturing run.
AZ31B-H24 Mangesium is a partially annealed and strain hardened version of AZ31B. The H24 version has better strength and lighter weight. Its stiffness and vibration absorption make it good for:
Overall, H24’s good strength and light weight make it a widely used material.
