Problems solved by technology

However, the low mechanical properties and poor corrosion resistance of the material seriously restrict the application of magnesium alloys, especially the functional parts with special environmental requirements, the main and secondary load-bearing parts
For high-performance magnesium alloy components, the die-casting process cannot meet the needs. Since the casting process performance of magnesium alloys is generally not as good as that of cast aluminum alloys, the heat capacity of cast magnesium alloys is about one-third lower than that of cast aluminum alloys, and thin-walled complex parts cannot use gravity. metal mold casting
