Mg Alloy Bicycle 

Magnesium alloy bicycle 

Using magnesium alloy to manufacture bicycle components and parts has the following advantages:

Lightweight: Compared to other materials such as steel or aluminum alloys, magnesium alloy has a lower density, so it can produce lighter bicycles. This makes riding more lightweight, flexible, and reduces fatigue.

High strength and durability: Although magnesium alloy is lighter, it has higher mechanical strength and rigidity, which can withstand large amounts of impact and load. In addition, magnesium alloy also has good corrosion resistance and durability, which can resist the effects of time and weather on bicycles.

Improved sports performance: Bicycle components and parts made of magnesium alloy can improve the overall sports performance of the vehicle, such as acceleration, climbing and steering. It can also improve athletes' reaction speed and agility, thereby gaining an advantage in competitions.

Better comfort: Magnesium alloy has certain shock-absorbing ability and flexibility, so bicycles made of it have better comfort compared to those made of other materials, reducing physical fatigue during long rides.

The following parts/components can be manufactured using magnesium alloy for bicycles:

Bicycle frame: Magnesium alloy frames are lighter than traditional steel or aluminum alloy frames but have high strength and durability. Magnesium alloy frames are usually cast or extruded.

Fork: The fork is the part that connects the frame and front wheel. Forks made of magnesium alloy are used to reduce weight and improve sports performance.

Handlebar: Some high-end bicycles use magnesium alloy handlebars, as they have high mechanical strength and rigidity, and are more lightweight compared to other materials.

Seat: Magnesium alloy seats are lighter, more durable, and provide better comfort compared to regular seats. 

Wheel: Bicycle wheels consist of hubs, spokes, and rims. Magnesium alloy can be used to manufacture hubs and rims for bicycle wheels.

Flywheel: The flywheel is a rotating component connected to the gear and is one of the core components of the bicycle transmission system. High-end bicycles can use magnesium alloy flywheels to reduce weight and improve sports performance.

Stand: The stand of a bicycle is usually made of magnesium alloy, which has enough strength and rigidity to support the entire vehicle and is lighter than other materials.

Pedal: Bicycle pedals can be made of magnesium alloy because of its good rigidity and lightweight characteristics, which can reduce the weight of the entire vehicle.

Magnesium alloy grades used

AZ91: This alloy, containing approximately 9% aluminum and 1% zinc, is frequently used in bicycle frames, forks, and handlebars. It provides a good balance of strength, castability, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various components.

AM60： magnesium alloy significantly reduces bicycle weight. while maintaining high strength, making it ideal for key components like frames and wheel hubs/rims.

Its high ductility and damping properties absorb road impacts, enhancing riding comfort and prolonging component lifespan.

Easy die-casting enables integrated production of complex structures (e.g., suspension forks), lowering manufacturing costs.

100% recyclable with low production energy consumption, driving sustainable transformation in the bicycle industry.

Already used in suspension forks, experimental frames, and ultra-light rims, it will expand into lightweight mid-to-high-end models.

ZK60: This alloy, containing about 6% zinc and 0.5% zirconium, is known for its high strength and excellent fatigue resistance. ZK60 is commonly used in lightweight bicycle frames and components where strength and durability are crucial. 

The newly developed stainless magnesium alloy in China is also a potential choice.
