Description

Magnesium ingot is classified as a non-ferrous metal, with its main constituent being magnesium with a purity of 99.9%. Due to the unique chemical and physical properties of magnesium (such as low density, corrosion resistance, good thermal and electrical conductivity, and formability) it has become one of the most widely used raw materials in various industries.

Advantages and Properties of Magnesium Ingot:

• Low density
• High chemical stability
• High strength and resistance
• Excellent toughness
• High corrosion resistance (prevents rust and corrosion of steel in underground pipelines, tanks, water heaters, and magnesium cells)
• Machinability
• Promotes Nodular graphite formation in cast iron
• High impact resistance
• Electrical conductivity
• High thermal conductivity
• Resistance to magnetic heating
• Cost-effectiveness

Applications of Magnesium Ingot:

• Production of automotive parts (reduces final weight and fuel consumption)
• Used in the steel industry to remove sulfur from molten iron and steel
• Manufacturing of components for airplanes, aerospace, and military industries (due to lower weight and higher strength)
• Production of sports and medical equipment (as lightweight components are highly important in these fields)
• Manufacturing of magnesium batteries
• Production of flammable and incendiary chemical materials
• Manufacturing of sacrificial magnesium anodes (cathodic protection) used in marine and oil industries to prevent corrosion
• Production of ferroalloys, casting materials, and master alloys
