Characteristics of magnesium alloy sheet
1). Magnesium alloy sheet is an indispensable material for aviation
and aerospace industry. The economic benefit and performance
improvement brought by aviation material weight reduction is very
significant. The same quality of commercial aircraft and automobile
weight reduction brings fuel cost savings. The former is nearly 100
of the latter. In addition, the fuel cost of the fighter is nearly
10 times that of the commercial aircraft. More importantly, the
improved maneuverability can greatly improve its combat
effectiveness and survivability. Because of this, the aviation
industry will take various measures to increase the application of
magnesium alloys. The aluminum materials used in aircraft today
account for about 85% of the total weight of the aircraft.
High-strength, corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy plates perform
better than aluminum plates and have advantages in aircraft
applications.
2).Magnesium alloy is an ideal structural material for reducing the
quality of weapons and equipment, achieving lightweight weaponry
and improving the tactical performance of weapons and equipment.
Military applications, such as helicopters and fighters, must be
used in large quantities; tanks, armored vehicles, military jeep,
firearms and weapons, etc., can reduce the individual combat system
to 6.37Kg. The use of magnesium sheets to make bullet shells and
shells doubles the load on individual bullets.
3).The application of vehicles, such as cars, trains, ships, etc.,
to reduce weight, save energy, reduce pollution, the country is
vigorously developing
4).Widely used in 3C products
5).For power applications, magnesium power products are
high-energy, non-polluting power sources, such as
magnesium-manganese dry batteries, magnesium air batteries,
magnesium seawater batteries, torpedo power supplies, and power
batteries.
