Magnesium–Lithium Alloy Solutions 

Magnesium–Lithium Alloy Solutions for Lightweight UAV Structures | Aikerly

Engineering-grade magnesium–lithium alloys for drone airframes, housings, and structural parts. Lightweight, weldable, recyclable, with full manufacturing and surface treatment support.

Lightness Is Where Flight Begins

Make drones lighter, faster, farther, and higher.

Ultra-light magnesium–lithium (Mg–Li) alloy is widely recognized as the lightest structural metallic material available today, with a density of only 1.35–1.65 g/cm³.
It is approximately 45% lighter than aerospace aluminum and even 15% lighter than carbon fiber composites.

Beyond weight reduction, magnesium–lithium alloys deliver an exceptional balance of strength, stability, and functional performance, positioning them at the forefront of material innovation for UAVs, aerospace systems, and advanced equipment.
