Magnesium alloys are mixtures of magnesium (the lightest structural metal) with other metals (called an alloy), often aluminium, zinc, manganese, silicon, copper, rare earths and zirconium. Magnesium alloys have a hexagonal lattice structure, which affects the fundamental properties of these alloys. Plastic deformation of the hexagonal lattice ...
Aluminium–magnesium alloys. Aluminium–magnesium alloys (AlMg) – standardised in the 5000 series – are aluminium alloys that are mainly made of aluminium and contain magnesium as the main alloy element. Most standardised alloys also contain small additives of manganese (AlMg (Mn)). Pure AlMg alloys and the AlMg (Mn) alloys belong to the ...
Aluminium–copper alloys. Aluminium–copper alloys (AlCu) are aluminium alloys that consist largely of aluminium (Al) and traces of copper (Cu) as the main alloying elements. Important grades also contain additives of magnesium, iron, nickel and silicon (AlCu (Mg, Fe, Ni, Si)), often manganese is also included to increase strength (see ...
Magnesium is a chemical element; it has symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a shiny gray metal having a low density, low melting point and high chemical reactivity. Like the other alkaline earth metals (group 2 of the periodic table) it occurs naturally only in combination with other elements and it almost always has an oxidation state of +2.
Aluminium–magnesium–silicon alloys. Aluminium–magnesium–silicon alloys (AlMgSi) are aluminium alloys —alloys that are mainly made of aluminium —that contain both magnesium and silicon as the most important alloying elements in terms of quantity. Both together account for less than 2 percent by mass. The content of magnesium is ...
The exact properties depend on whether the composition of the alloy is above, near or below the eutectic point. Castability increases with increasing Si content and is best at about 17% Si; the mechanical properties are best at 6% to 12% Si. The mold filling capacity reaches its maximum at 12% Si, but is also good with other contents.
Linear thermal expansion coefficient (α) 2.38*10 −5 K −1. Specific heat capacity (c) 880 J/kg*K. Electrical properties. Volume resistivity (ρ) 49.3-49.9 nOhm*m. 5052 is an aluminium–magnesium alloy, primarily alloyed with magnesium and chromium. 5052 is not a heat treatable aluminum alloy, but can be hardened through cold working.

Magnesium wheels are wheels manufactured from alloys which contain mostly magnesium. Magnesium wheels are produced either by casting (metalworking) (where molten metal is introduced into a mold, solidifying within the mold), or by forging (where a prefabricated bar is deformed mechanically). Magnesium has several key properties that make it an ...
