- 1g (2.2lbs) maximum part weight (conventional)
- 5kg (11lbs) maximum part weight (Multi-Slide)
- 40g (0.09lbs) maximum part weight
- Cost-effective
- High thermal and electrical conductivity
- Withstands high operating temperatures
- High dimensional accuracy and stability
- Exceptional thin-wall capability
- Good finishing characteristics
- Good environmental corrosion resistance
- Fully recyclable

Alloy properties and applications
AM60B
AM60B
AM60B is a popular magnesium alloy for die casting applications requiring a combination of strength, ductility, and lightweight design.
AZ91D
AZ91D
Alloy AZ91D is the most widely used magnesium die-casting alloy and has an excellent combination of mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and castability.
MgCarbonit 91
MgCarbonit 91
MgCarbonit 91 is a newly developed, self-extinguishing magnesium alloy that combines excellent castability with improved mechanical properties over conventional flame-resistant alloys.
How our metal selection fosters innovation through customisation
Magnesium is a lightweight option for die casting projects.
