Advanced Magnesium Australia (Australia's Advanced Magnesium) at the recent annual meeting of the International Magnesium Association discussed the development of applications, said
magnesium alloy,
neodymium fluoride, magnesium is far did not reflect its true
value, light weight, magnesium, steel is strong and resources large, these advantages are its
weight in the car on an ideal metal.
However, compared to aluminum, steel and plastics, the magnesium alloy has a very small market
share
Magnesium automotive industry still provides a lot of space. European automotive industry in the
use of magnesium alloys, has been leading the world, Bolstad other parts of the world then that
will also expand on the magnesium alloy use in cars, which will greatly stimulate demand for
magnesium.
The current global vehicle production for the 50 million the amount, if each vehicle were
increased by 10 kg of magnesium alloy usage, this represents significant increase in the global
magnesium production to be 50 million tons.
Magnesium alloy is mainly used in automotive structural parts,
optical coating exporter, while the magnesium alloy to high
temperature and creep resistance, such as the cylinder in the gearbox and other transmission
components and also have use of space.
So why have so many benefits of magnesium, but magnesium did not share scheduled increases.
Bolstad think that one is too concentrated production,
neodymium fluoride supplier, the Chinese magnesium
production from 2000-2006 to obtain the dominant position, now account for 80% of the world
supply of magnesium, and magnesium production in China early energy and labor costs are
relatively low and makes its magnesium production competitive. But in recent years China has
also increased the energy control efforts also means raising the cost of producing a variety of
bright future, the future use of magnesium is expected to increase significantly.
In addition, he also believes that use of rare earth prices rose on the magnesium also play a
certain extent. Rare earth magnesium alloys are generally used to improve their performance, to
achieve the effect is more than the aluminum alloy used in automotive transmission components on
the expression of the performance. Source: www.mhcocm.com
