| DAMPING |
Absorbs vibration for longer life, while retaining dimensional stability. |
| TOOLING |
4 to 5 times greater tool life. |
| FINISH |
Up to 5 times more machinable than rolled aluminum. |
| COSTS |
Machine dry, without oil or chemicals. |
| WEIGHT |
Easier handling saves energy and time. |
| FLATNESS |
Eliminates
surface machining. |
| STABILITY |
No stress
relief after machining; no warps and is dent resistant. |
| WELDING |
Strong
weldments up to 95% of parent metal, with minimal porosity. |
| ALKALI-RESISTANT |
Makes for easy
cleaning. |
CORROSION
RESISTANT |
A wide variety
of chemical treatments exists for corrosion protection, alteration of surface appearance,
and to provide a base for painting. Basic engineering precautions averts galvanic
corrosion. |
| STRENGTH |
Excellent
strength and stiffness per unit weight. |
| NON-GALLING |
Sound and
rugged surface, offering a low coefficient of friction and minimum wear, |
RAPID HEAT
DISSIPATION |
Ideal for a
broad range of operating temperatures, from 350 degrees Fahrenheit to -30 degrees
Fahrenheit. |
| NONMAGNETIC |
Good for
electrical and computer applications. |
UNIT VOLUME
YIELD |
Greater amount
of finished magnesium material obtained, pound for pound. |
| SALVAGE |
Scrap retains
a consistently high level of value. |
