According to the Royal Society of Chemistry, magnesium accounts for 2.5% of the earth's crust, ranking it as the 8th most abundant element behind elements such as iron and aluminum. Magnesium is widely regarded as the lightest of all the structured materials. Although considered stiff, it has a strength-to-weight ratio that is significantly higher than average for the industrial sector. Because of its excellent RFI and EMI shielding properties, it is commonly used in electrical housings and connectors.

Advantages of Magnesium Die Casting

To ensure that magnesium has durable corrosion resistance, the magnesium die company gives it a high purity alloy die using the CWM. The die also helps to prolong the life of magnesium tools, provides magnesium with high-quality finishing fixtures, and makes magnesium components more recyclable than before.

The Process of Die Casting by a Magnesium Die Company

The process of die-casting magnesium by the magnesium die company entails the injection of metal components. The scraps and raw pellets of magnesium (metal components) are initially heated to 150° C. Magnesium components, inside a holding pot, are then heated at high pressure until melting. The components are subsequently immersed in a molten magnesium reservoir by the magnesium die company.

The magnesium is then forced into the die by a hydraulically powered piston mechanism, where it is molded and coated, leading to the formation of complex shapes. The process of molding and coating is easier since magnesium has a high flow rate when in a molten state. Upon solidification, the clamping unit releases the newly designed parts which are then injected. When the process is completed, the scrap magnesium and other components are recycled for use in the next process by the magnesium die company.

Products Made Out of Magnesium Die Casting

A magnesium die company can manufacture a variety of magnesium die-cast products, including cell phone and laptop handsets, office electronics, loudspeakers, power tools, engineered vehicle components, steering wheel armatures, and EMI enclosures.

Additionally, the lightweight properties of magnesium die castings make them ideal for aircraft and automobile construction, as they are both fuel-efficient and fast. Further, the lightweight explains why the majority of computer equipment and electronics casings are made of magnesium.

A magnesium die company molds and coats magnesium metals under high pressure and heat to make lightweight, complex-shaped electronics, automobile, and aircraft products. For more information about our services, call us today.
