What is magnesium?
Magnesium is the lightest structural material at about 1.8 grams per cubic centimeter. Magnesium is the 8th most abundant element in the earth's crust. It occurs naturally in dolomite, magnesite, carnallite and chloride (sea water). Magnesium is produced from seawater, brine and magnesium-containing minerals, and its reserves are unlimited.
Magnesium is 75% lighter than steel and 33% lighter than aluminum, provides component and functional integration, and provides high dimensional stability for improved fit and finish.

Magnesium vs Steel
Compared to steel, magnesium is 75% lighter and offers advantages such as component consolidation/integration, significantly lower tooling costs, high thermal conductivity, complex thin-wall near-net shape, and excellent dimensional stability/repeatability.
Comparing Magnesium and Plastic
Compared with steel, magnesium has higher strength and has the advantages of high rigidity, high energy absorption capacity, high application temperature, and large thin-walled near-net-shape castings.
Comparing Magnesium and Aluminum
Compared with aluminum, magnesium is 33% lighter and has the advantages of superior machining, large thin-walled near-net-shape castings, higher mechanical properties and stronger overall corrosion resistance.
