Mg alloy construction engineering

Magnesium alloy curtain wall keel profiles

Magnesium alloy curtain wall keel profiles can serve as the main support structure for curtain walls, fixing glass and aluminum panels. Compared to traditional steel structures, magnesium alloy curtain wall keel profiles have a lighter weight and higher strength, effectively reducing the weight of buildings, improving their service life and safety.

The cross-sectional dimensions of magnesium alloy curtain wall keel profiles are usually determined based on specific design requirements and the specifications of the curtain wall, typically calculated and designed by architects and structural engineers. In general, the cross-sectional dimensions include 30mm×50mm, 35mm×50mm, 40mm×50mm, 50mm×50mm, with a thickness of 1.5mm or 2.0mm. It's worth noting that in actual use, the cross-sectional dimensions of curtain wall keel profiles should also meet relevant national and industry standards to ensure the safety, reliability, and stability of the curtain wall.

Mg Alloy Used in Construction Projects

Magnesium alloy has the advantages of lightweight, high strength, and anti-corrosion, so it has been widely used in construction projects.

Here are some common applications of magnesium alloys in construction:

Building roof panels: Magnesium alloy roof panels have good fire resistance, waterproofing, and weather resistance, as well as being lightweight and easy to install, making them the preferred material for modern building roof coverings.

Building curtain wall profiles and components: Magnesium alloys can be fabricated into various hollow profiles and components with excellent mechanical properties and surface treatment capabilities. This makes them suitable for designing complex building curtain wall structures.

 Building wall panels: Magnesium alloy wall panels can be processed by cold bending, cutting, drilling, etc., into various shapes such as flat panels and corrugated panels. They not only have excellent wind pressure resistance but are also easy to construct and install quickly.

Decorative panels: Magnesium alloy decorative panels are lightweight, rich in color, easy to surface treat and can be made into various patterns and designs. They have been widely used in building decoration, such as suspended ceilings, wall decorations, furniture, etc.

There are many types of magnesium alloys used in construction projects, and the specific type should be chosen according to the requirements of the product and project. Here are some common magnesium alloy grades and their characteristics:

AZ31B: AZ31B magnesium alloy is an aluminum and zinc-containing magnesium alloy with high strength and good corrosion resistance, which is widely used in building curtain walls, wall panels, roof panels, etc.

AZ91D: AZ91D magnesium alloy is an aluminum and zinc-containing magnesium alloy with high strength and hardness. It can be used to manufacture various components with higher strength requirements, such as building curtain wall structures.

WE43: WE43 magnesium alloy is a high-strength magnesium alloy containing neodymium and terbium. It has excellent heat and corrosion resistance, as well as good processing performance. Therefore, it is widely used in building materials for high-temperature environments.

ZK60A: ZK60A magnesium alloy is a magnesium alloy containing zirconium and aluminum, with high strength and plasticity. It is also highly corrosion-resistant, making it widely used in building curtain walls, roof panels, etc.

Magnesium alloy has been increasingly used in construction projects, and many projects in China have already adopted magnesium alloy materials in recent years. Here are some common usage cases:

Building roof panels: AZ31B magnesium alloy roof panels were used in the Beijing Olympic Forest Park Swimming Pool and Changsha Metro Line 5 project.

Building curtain walls: Magnesium alloy curtain wall profiles and components were used in high-rise buildings such as Shenzhen Vanke Center, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Guangzhou Poly Zhouhui.

Building wall panels: Magnesium alloy wall panels were used in projects such as Xiamen University Gymnasium, Chengdu Hangcheng Creative Industry Park, and Nanning Port Group office building.

Decorative panels: Magnesium alloy decorative panels were used in projects such as Shenzhen Civic Center, Suzhou Kowloon Wharf Binjiang Times Square, and Wuxi Taihu International Expo Center.

Currently, the development direction of magnesium alloy in construction projects mainly focuses on the following aspects:

Improving material performance: Develop higher strength, more corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature-resistant magnesium alloys to meet the more demanding requirements of construction projects.

Strengthening composite applications: Combine magnesium alloy with other materials, such as steel, glass, stone, etc., to improve the performance and aesthetics of building curtain wall structures.
