Problems solved by technology

The advantage of this method is that the segregation of alloy components is small and the burning loss of the alloy is small; the disadvantage is that the cathode needs to be replaced in time, it is not easy to carry out continuous production, and it is difficult to industrialize; in addition, the cathode of metal magnesium or magnesium alloy is prepared separately, which increases the process flow and increases cost
At present, the preparation of this electrolyte melt is carried out by using anhydrous magnesium chloride and anhydrous metal inorganic salts as raw materials, but the preparation process of anhydrous magnesium chloride and some anhydrous metal inorganic salts is complicated and the production cost is high, which restricts the preparation of this method. Commercialization of Magnesium Alloys
