1. Aerospace

As far as aviation materials are concerned, structural weight reduction and the integration of structural load and function are important directions in the development of aircraft body structural materials. Magnesium has long been used in aviation industry because of its low density and high specific strength. The economic benefits and performance improvements from reducing the weight of aviation materials are significant. Commercial aircraft can save nearly 100 times as much fuel as cars by reducing the same weight. The fuel cost saving of fighter jets is nearly 10 times that of commercial aircraft. More importantly, the improvement of its mobility performance can greatly improve its combat effectiveness and survival ability. Because of this, the aviation industry will take various measures to increase the consumption of magnesium alloy.

2. Military field

Magnesium alloy is light in weight, good specific strength and stiffness, good vibration damping performance, strong electromagnetic interference shielding ability and so on, which can meet the requirements of military products for weight reduction, noise absorption, shock absorption and radiation protection.

1. Automotive

Magnesium alloy used as an automobile component usually has the following advantages:

1) Improve the comprehensive fuel economy standards to reduce exhaust emissions and fuel costs. It is estimated that 60% of the fuel used in automobiles is consumed by the self-weight of automobiles. Every 10% reduction in the weight of automobiles will reduce the fuel consumption by 8%-10%;

2) Weight reduction can increase the loading capacity and payload of the vehicle, as well as improve braking and acceleration performance;

3) It can greatly improve the noise and vibration of vehicles.

4. Motorcycle field

Over the past 50 years, through continuous technological innovation, the application of magnesium alloy in motorcycles has been continuously expanded in breadth and depth. The application models have been expanded from racing cars to sports motorcycles, portable motorcycles and concept motorcycles, covering more than a dozen major motorcycle brands in Europe, America and Japan. The applied parts of magnesium alloy cover more than 40 kinds of power system, transmission system and various motorcycle accessories. Among them, Dymay wheel hub in Britain is used for as many as 400 models. There is still no application of magnesium alloy in motorcycle in China. Chongqing Longxin took the lead in trial production of "magnesium alloy Green concept motorcycle" with model LXl50, which has attracted wide attention in China. Now, 3 of the 12 parts used have realized large-scale production.

5. 3C field

3C products -- Computer, Communication, Consumer Electronic Product (computer, communication, consumer electronic product) is the fastest growing industry in the world today. Digital technology has led to the emergence of various digital products. Magnesium alloy 3C products first appeared in Japan, in 1998, Japanese manufacturers began to use a variety of portable products (such as PDA. Magnesium alloy material is used in mobile phones, etc. Today, the most common 3C product using magnesium alloy is laptop computer, which was also first launched by Sony of Japan. Driven by the development trend of 3C products towards light, thin, short and small direction, the application of magnesium alloy has been growing continuously in recent years.
