  Subject: Major uses of Magnesium 


Out of the uses of magnesium mentioned in this website, which sectors use magnesium on a wide scale?

I would say that the consumer electronic sector would be the biggest user of mag. Cell phones and laptops are a very big market.

What about the steel sector and the alloy sectors?

Yes in a steel, pig iron production, Magnesium granules are used in bulk. Also for the production of Ductile Iron.

Mg is used for de sulphurisation, and as innoculant for Ductile / Nodular Cast Iron.

Magnesium alloys for automotive purposes has also been increased in the last decades.

My rough rule of thumb is that one third of primary Mg production goes to die casting, one third in aluminium alloys, and one third in the steel industry. Thin castings (e.g. cell phone parts) come under die casting, but the sheet industry is growing off a small base. There are much better figures out there, but that\'s my rough guide.

Dear Colleagues,

I\'m researching on the global applications of Mg and alloys. Do you know any recent statistics in this matter? I\'m interested in as detailed as possible break down by industries/products.


Thank you,
Wojciech Grzegorczyk

You can find some useful stuff at http://www.intlmag.org/statistics.html and also there a paper by mordike and ebert, 2001, Material Sci and Eng vol. 302/1 pp.37-45

Dear Friends,
One of the major applications of Magnesium is in Shock & Vibration Testing. Magnesium due to it\'s inherent advantage of Light weight & high Damping capacity finds wide usage in this Industry. It is used in Vibration Fixtures, Armatures for field coils, Slip Plates, etc.
As far as Fixtures are concerned, every product is unique & like Deigner Product.

Could tell me price per MT.

Hi, it can be in producing mold, shock and vibration testing equipment, cases of 3C products, needle plate of textile equipment, aero sector, and magnesium anode is used in the technical method of electrochemistry cathode protection, etc.

Magnesium is the lighest metal with high damping capacity, using it can largely reduce shock and noise, and against radioation in space...
