The lightest structural metal in common use, roughly a third lighter than aluminum at a similar strength class.
The lightest structural metal in common use — roughly a third lighter than aluminum at a similar strength class.
Outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and strong vibration damping, but chips are flammable in fine particulate form, requiring specific shop safety handling.
When weight reduction is the overriding design priority and the part can be made using proper fine-chip handling procedures.
Aerospace structural components, high-performance automotive parts, lightweight tool housings.
Requires dedicated chip management and fire-safety procedures due to fine magnesium chips' flammability — not every shop is set up for it, so it's worth confirming this specifically with the partner.
