With its lightweight and performance advantages, magnesium alloys are widely used in the following fields:


In the field of transportation, weight reduction in cars (steering wheel, gearbox housing, seat frame), motorcycles (wheel hubs), high-speed trains/airplanes (interior parts, luggage racks) can reduce fuel consumption/energy consumption (for every 1kg weight reduction, fuel vehicles can reduce fuel consumption by 0.5L per 100km).

3C Electronics: phone and laptop casings (such as Lenovo ThinkPad's magnesium alloy frame), camera bodies, balancing lightweight and strength.

Aerospace: Satellite structural components, missile shells, aircraft engine components (such as WE series for high-temperature components), achieving lightweight and improving payload capacity.

Biomedical: Degradable magnesium alloys (such as Mg Zn Ca) are used for bone nails and scaffolds, gradually degrading in vivo to avoid secondary surgical removal.

Other: sports equipment (golf clubs, bicycle racks), tools (electric tool casings), military (lightweight armor).
