Magnesium: Mechanical Property

The reasons that push toward the use of magnesium for structural components can be found in the resistance-weight ratio which is the highest among the commonly used metals and in its excellent machinability.

Magnesium accessories also have a good dimensional stability. The setting-up of special alloys, and the use of some essential components has allowed the improvement of the sliding and of the corrosion resistance, besides the achievement of high mechanical properties and a good resistance to high temperatures.

Finally, magnesium has an excellent capacity of vibrational absorption and, thanks to its low inertia, it is a good choice for those mechanical parts that are subjected to continuous and sudden changes of direction at high speed
