What is Magnesium?

Magnesium, one of Earth’s most abundant elements, is a key material in modern engineering. As the third most commonly used structural metal after iron and aluminum, magnesium stands out for its lightness, strength, and versatility. Its alloys are the lightest structural materials available, making them indispensable in industries that prioritize weight reduction and performance. With low density, high specific strength, excellent damping characteristics, and superior castability, magnesium alloys see widespread use in automotive, aerospace, defense, electronics, and other advanced sectors. Automotive manufacturers increasingly use magnesium alloys to replace heavier materials like steel, cast iron, and even aluminum, significantly reducing vehicle weight. This shift improves fuel efficiency, lowers CO2 emissions, and aligns with sustainability goals. Magnesium alloy products are primarily produced through die-casting, with AZ31 being one of the most popular wrought alloys. AZ31 offers excellent ductility along with a balance of strength and formability, making it ideal for structural applications. Available in sheet, plate, and round bar forms, AZ31 supports a wide range of uses. At Hadco, we maintain stringent quality standards to ensure our magnesium products meet the rigorous demands of industries like aerospace, defense, and commercial manufacturing.
