magnesium is one of the most abundant light metallic elements of the reserves on the earth. Its proportion is lighter by 1/3 even than the aluminum. But the intensity , rigidity are higher than the steel and the aluminum. Magnesium have heat conductivity , resist electromagnetic shielding , easy to cast precision high characteristic shock attenuation also, especially easy regeneration.
   

besides aviation, spaceflight and war industry, magnesium alloy apply automobile , motorcycle , electronic photographic apparatus , electrical home appliances , 3C respect extensively already now and the range of application is still in expanding constantly.The magnesium alloy, as reducing the heavy material, the magnesium gets application too on such means of transportation as the train , steamer , plane ,etc..
    magnesium alloy heat conductivity, resisting the electromagnetic shielding good characteristic in the electrical home appliances products, notebook computer and cell-phone outer cover etc. have been all already used widely. In a word, compared with other remote old brand metal for developing and adopting riper , such as long history steel , aluminum and copper ,etc., the development upsurge of the metal magnesium still just rose, its future application will be expanded constantly.
