China produces most of the Primary Magnesium Alloy traded on world markets and Magontec is a leading exporter of generic and specialist alloys to die cast customers in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
The majority of magnesium alloys manufactured at Magontec’s Magnesium Alloy facilities are:
- AZ91 –
Suited to pressure casting, gravity die-casting and sand casting
- AM50/AM60
Exceptional elongation, tensile strength and energy absorption properties
Good castability makes them highly versatile in application
High Pressure Die Casting Alloys
- AE 44
A rare earth and aluminium containing alloy for high temperature applications with excellent castability and ductility.
Available in two versions:
– AE44-4 containing four varieties of rare earths,
– AE44-2 containing only the lower cost rare earths: cerium and lanthanum.
- AJ 62
Magnesium, aluminium and strontium containing alloy for moderate temperature applications - AS 31
An alloy with good ‘creep’ properties and mechanical characteristics used in engine components.
- ZA 126
The successor to HyMag2 and AM-lite alloys for applications requiring high surface definition and electroplatability.
ZA126 is for decorative – non structural applications.
Gravity Cast Alloy
- SC1
Magnesium rare earth alloy suitable for high temperature applications including engine blocks
Master Alloy
- MicroZir™
A magnesium – zirconium master alloy used to introduce zirconium to magnesium alloys for alloying and grain refining. Zirconium is present as particles in microns size range for high alloying efficiency and low sludge formation
Extrusion Alloys
- EX1
Combines high extrusion speeds, low cost, high ductility and closeness of tensile and compressive properties - AZ 31
Most widely used magnesium extrusion alloy
