Magnesium Ingots are solid blocks or bars of pure magnesium metal, commonly used in industrial and metallurgical applications as a primary material for producing magnesium alloys and as a source of magnesium in various chemical processes.
Formula: Mg
Atomic Number: 12
Appearance: Magnesium ingots are metallic with a silver-gray color, though they may develop a thin oxide layer when exposed to air.
Size and Shape: Typically available in rectangular, trapezoidal, or cylindrical forms for easy handling and stacking.
Density: Approximately 1.74 g/cm³, making magnesium the lightest structural metal commonly used in industrial applications.
Melting Point: About 650°C (1,202°F), which allows magnesium ingots to be melted and alloyed with other metals.
Alloy Production: Magnesium ingots are commonly used as a base material to produce magnesium alloys, particularly with aluminum, to create lightweight, durable materials for the aerospace and automotive industries.
Die Casting: Due to its low melting point, magnesium is suitable for die casting, where it can produce complex shapes with a high-quality finish and excellent mechanical strength.
Electronics and Consumer Goods: Magnesium alloys made from ingots are often used in laptop frames, camera bodies, and mobile phone cases for durability and lightness.
Cathodic Protection: Magnesium ingots serve as sacrificial anodes to protect underground pipelines, water heaters, and other metals from corrosion.
Steel and Iron Desulfurization: Magnesium acts as a desulfurizing agent in molten iron and steel production, helping improve product quality.
Flammable: Magnesium ingots are less flammable than powder but can still ignite under extreme heat. Avoid storing near open flames or high-temperature equipment.
Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture exposure, which can accelerate corrosion and hydrogen gas production.
Handling Precautions: Use protective gloves and avoid contact with acids or water during storage or processing.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
