Magnesium Metal Foil is a thin, flexible layer of magnesium that is valued for its lightweight, high strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent machinability. Magnesium foil is used in various industries, including aerospace, electronics, chemical processing, and research. It is typically available in different thicknesses, depending on the application requirements.
Formula: Mg
Atomic Number: 12
Appearance: Magnesium metal foil appears as a silvery-white, shiny metal.
Density: Approximately 1.74 g/cm³, making it one of the lightest structural metals.
Melting Point: 650°C (1,202°F), which is relatively low compared to other structural metals.
Thickness: Magnesium foil is typically available in ultra-thin formats, ranging from a few micrometers to millimeters in thickness.
Aerospace and Automotive: Magnesium metal foil’s low weight makes it suitable for aerospace and automotive components where weight reduction is critical.
Electronics: Used in batteries, particularly in magnesium-air and other metal-air batteries, as a lightweight anode material.
Chemical Research and Processing: Magnesium metal foil is used in research labs for experiments involving magnesium reactions, as it provides a controlled surface area for reaction studies.
Biomedical: In some cases, magnesium is used for biodegradable implants; however, its use in foil form is more limited in biomedical fields.
Pyrotechnics: Magnesium foil’s high reactivity with oxygen makes it useful in pyrotechnics and flash powder, as it ignites easily and burns brightly.
Flammable: Extreme caution is required due to magnesium’s flammability. Avoid high temperatures, open flames, and sparks when handling magnesium foil.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from oxidizers and sources of moisture. It should be kept in airtight containers to minimize oxidation.
Handling Precautions: Handle with gloves to avoid contamination, as skin oils can contribute to oxidation.
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.
