Magnesium alloy particle 

Magnesium alloy particle products applications: aerospace, automotive, 3C, high-speed rail parts, and other lightweight consumer manufacturing fields.

Applications Scenarios

Different diameter magnesium alloy particles have different application scenarios:

Magnesium alloy particles less than 50 microns: These particles are often used to prepare high-performance materials and composite materials, such as high-strength lightweight materials, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, etc.

$20 and $100 per kilogram

Magnesium alloy particles of 50-200 microns: These particles are suitable for the semi-solid casting, injection molding, and extrusion processes required for semi-solid alloy slurries.

$30 and $150 per kilogram

Magnesium alloy particles larger than 200 microns: These particles can be added to some materials as additives to enhance their performance, such as ceramics and polymers.

$10 and $50 per kilogram

Semi-solid casting: Magnesium alloy particles can be used as additives in semi-solid casting to improve the flowability and plasticity of the alloy, while reducing defects such as shrinkage and pores. The particle size of the raw material is required to be between 100 and 200 microns. This is because particles that are too large will affect the fluidity and filling performance of the material, while particles that are too small will reduce the mechanical properties of the material.

Injection molding: Magnesium alloy particles can be blended with polymers to prepare composite materials with good heat resistance and mechanical properties. The particle size of the raw material for magnesium alloy injection molding is required to be between 30 and 100 microns. This range of particle sizes can ensure uniformity and stability during molding and maximize the mechanical properties and surface quality of the material.

3D printing: Magnesium alloy particles can be used with other metal powders for 3D printing to produce complex-shaped metal parts. The particle size of raw materials for magnesium alloy 3D printing is very small, generally between 5 and 50 microns. Particles within this range can ensure the fluidity and filling performance of the material, and maximize the mechanical properties and surface quality of the product. In addition, particles that are too large or uneven can cause nozzle blockages and affect printing accuracy. Therefore, controlling particle size is a key step.

Spraying: Spraying magnesium alloy particles onto the surface of a substrate can improve the strength and corrosion resistance of the substrate. The particle size of the spraying material should be controlled between 10 and 60 microns. This range of particle sizes can ensure the uniformity and stability of the sprayed coating, and provide good adhesion and corrosion resistance.
