Mg alloy smartphone shell

Magnesium Alloy Smartphone shell: 

Smartphone shell: The smartphone shell typically requires good toughness and corrosion resistance. Therefore, commonly used magnesium alloy materials include AZ31, AZ91, AM60, etc. Magnesium alloy has become one of the preferred materials for smartphone shells due to its lightweight, high strength, and excellent mechanical properties. Compared with aluminum alloy or stainless steel, magnesium alloy is lighter but still has sufficient strength and stiffness to effectively protect equipment from wear and damage. Additionally, magnesium alloy also has outstanding corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, making it an ideal material for manufacturing high-quality smartphones.

Commonly used processes for manufacturing magnesium alloy smartphone shells include the following:

Casting forming: Casting is a traditional process for manufacturing large and complex parts, and magnesium alloy smartphone shells can also be made through casting. This process requires first melting the magnesium alloy material and then pouring the molten material into a mold for cooling and solidification, ultimately achieving the desired shell shape. The price advantage of casting forming lies in the ability to produce a large number of shells in a short time, making it suitable for mass production. The performance advantage is that casting can manufacture internally complex structures and accurate dimensions of parts, with high strength and hardness.

Stamping forming: Stamping forming is an efficient manufacturing process that can quickly produce a large number of shells of the same size and shape. This process requires using special stamping machines to plasticize processed sheets, thereby deforming them into the final shell shape. The price advantage of stamping forming is the ability to efficiently produce large quantities of identical-sized and shaped parts, with relatively low processing equipment and mold costs. The performance advantage is that the manufactured shell has higher flatness, accuracy, and surface quality.

Extrusion forming: Extrusion forming is a method of shaping rods or tubes using rolling equipment. This process requires specialized extrusion equipment and technical personnel, and can produce more complex-shaped shells while achieving higher surface quality requirements. The price advantage of extrusion forming is relatively low production costs, able to obtain the final shape through a single processing, thereby reducing processing costs. The performance advantage is that the manufactured shell has higher strength and hardness, and can achieve higher surface quality requirements.

CNC machining: CNC machining is the process of using computer-controlled machine tools to process materials, achieving high-precision cutting, carving, drilling, and other processes. This process requires specialized CNC equipment and appropriate numerical control programming, able to produce high-quality magnesium alloy smartphone shells. The price advantage of CNC machining is the ability to produce small amounts or even custom-made shells in a short time, and can be processed according to different design requirements. The performance advantage is that the manufactured shell has high precision and high surface quality, while providing multiple complex shapes for different materials.
