Magnesium and Aluminium Alloy Die Casting

Aluminum Magnesium Alloy Die Casting Connector Shell is suitable for a variety of connector applications with light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and good heat transfer properties.

Could mix aluminum and magnesium?

Aluminum and magnesium, as light metals, both have good electrical and thermal conductivity, their High Precision Magnesium Alloy Die Casting have a wide range of applications in many fields. In industrial production, aluminum and magnesium can be mixed together through a melting process such as Magnesium Alloy Die Casting, forming aluminum or magnesium-aluminum alloys.

These alloys combine the advantages of aluminum and magnesium, such as low density, high strength, and good corrosion resistance.

During the Magnesium Casting Process, to prevent oxidation and mixing of impurities, the mixtures of aluminum and magnesium require control of the proper temperature and atmosphere. In addition, since the melting point of aluminum is about 660.3°C, while that of magnesium is about 650°C, the heating process needs to be precisely controlled to ensure that the two metals can be adequately mixed.

Mixtures of aluminum and magnesium form solid solutions or intermetallic compounds upon cooling, the exact microstructure depends on the mixing ratio and cooling rate. These alloys can be further modified in terms of their microstructure and properties through subsequent machining processes, such as forging, rolling, extrusion etc.
