Magnesium is the lightest of all structural metals, aluminum is 1.5 times heavier and steel is 4 times heavier. Wrought magnesium tooling plate (alloy AZ31B) has the following benefits and characteristics:
Absorbs vibration for a longer life, while retaining dimensional stability.
4 to 5 times greater tool life.
Up to 5 times more machinable than rolled aluminum.
Strong weldments up to 95% of parent metal, with minimal porosity.
Excellent strength and stiffness per unit weight.
Ideal for a broad range of operating temperatures, from 350 degrees Fahrenheit to -30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Good for electrical and computer applications.
