Presumably, we all know that magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy are two kinds of metal raw materials that are widely used in the industrial industry. I don't know how much you know about magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy. Even for some products that are not well-known, you can say something different. Now let's talk about the five differences between magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy processing. I hope it can help more people to have a deeper understanding of these two different metal raw materials.
Processing of magnesium alloy parts
Magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy are used for processing with five major differences:
1. Different tensile strength of magnesium aluminum alloy:
The frame made of magnesium alloy with the same volume is not as strong as aluminum alloy. From the perspective of weight, magnesium alloy has no advantage over aluminum alloy in terms of weight, while aluminum alloy has greater tensile strength.
2. Different specific gravity density of magnesium aluminum alloy:
In general, magnesium alloy is lighter than aluminum alloy in terms of the same volume, which is the advantage of magnesium alloy. This is the advantage of magnesium alloy in processing auto parts. It can reduce the weight of the body, drive faster and save energy.
3. Different oxidizability of magnesium aluminum alloy:
From the periodic table of elements, we can see that magnesium alloys are more prone to oxidation and corrosion than aluminum alloys, so aluminum alloys are more widely used and more resistant to corrosion than magnesium alloys.
Processing of aluminum alloy parts
4. Different processing costs of magnesium aluminum alloy:
Because magnesium alloys are active metals, the manufacturing equipment and environment have high requirements, which leads to high cost of processing magnesium alloys. However, the cost performance of bicycle frames processed from magnesium alloys is far less than that of frames processed from aluminum alloys.
5. Different fatigue strength of magnesium aluminum alloy processing:
Generally speaking, the durability of frames made of magnesium alloy with the same volume is worse than that of frames made of aluminum alloy. This is also a fatal disadvantage of magnesium alloy as a processing material. Therefore, aluminum alloy processing is more widely used than magnesium alloy processing.
