Magnesium alloys are considered to be in the vanguard of advanced materials. They are lightweight, with a density of 1.8 g/cm 3, (approximately two thirds that of aluminium alloys) and have the ...

Magnesium has attributes that make it a very desirable manufacturing material. It has the lowest density of all structural metals, making it ideal for applications in which weight saving is a priority ...

North American automakers are aggressively advancing vehicle lightweighting to boost energy efficiency, extend EV range and ...

Until only a few years ago, investment casting was not a viable way for die casters to produce prototype parts to replicate die-casting magnesium without the use of expensive tooling. That’s because ...

FisherCast Global Corp. Peterborough, Ont. Magnesium alloys increasingly replace aluminum, zinc, and other materials in structural automotive parts because they are much lighter. Magnesium's low ...
