More than a lightweight
Due to the high strength of magnesium in comparison to its weight, magnesium die casting is particularly suitable for equipment housings: the low viscosity of the melt, highly complex components can be manufactured with thinner walls and larger surface areas than diecast aluminum. The good heat conductivity and electromagnetic screening of diecast magnesium make it attractive for many segments of machine construction and the electronics industry. The disadvantage of high corrosion from other metals or acids can be counted by high purity magnesium alloys, design measures and suitable surface protection such as passivation, anodizing or coatings.
