Production of Magnesium Alloy and Application Technology in Auto Parts

Magnesium alloy is with unique advantages in the manufacture of auto parts. It is a light alloy material in metal alloys with the advantages of low density, strong rigidity, good vibration, good noise absorption performance and perfect casting performance. It has become a green manufacturing material in the new era. It has been widely used in automobile parts manufacturing, such as the design of automobile engine, auto door molding, hub body and bracket, etc. It is the main research direction of subsequent material processing. In the early construction management of magnesium alloy, its later manufacturing, processing and assembly are complicated. It has been widely used in automobile industry with growth rate of 20%, which has far exceeded the use of other metal alloys.

Application Analysis of Magnesium Alloy in Auto Parts

1. Application in Automobile Hub

Automobile hub is an important part of automobile tire, which takes axle as the center, supports the cylindrical metal component of tire and connects brake disc, wheel disc and axle shaft in a new way to improve the quality of the whole body, reduce the heat of tire and enhance the original power construction of automobile. Among them, magnesium alloy may have internal elastic deformation when receiving load, but its recovery is fast with strong buffer and decompression function. The anti-bumping ability of magnesium alloy hub is far better than other alloy materials, making the stability and comfort of automobile good. So it has been widely recognized in the manufacture of auto parts.

2. Application in Automobile Engine

Engine is the motive power accessory of automobile, which is closely related to the power and environmental protection of automobile. Magnesium alloy with excellent performance can be applied to various parts of engine, which makes the engine lose a lot of weight, significantly reduces the vibration and noise of engine and enhances the service life of machinery and equipment.

3. Application in Automobile Body

Body is an important supporting framework of automobile, which can create a suitable riding environment for drivers and passengers, reduce the influence of external environment, improve the vibration effect during driving and reduce the invasion of noise and exhaust gas. Compared with other metal materials, magnesium alloy has strong internal vibration absorption, high shock absorption and noise reduction effect, which has been widely recognized by all walks of life.

4. Application in Automobile Bracket Parts

The bracket parts of automobile can effectively support other parts. Using magnesium alloy to produce bracket parts can not only reduce the total weight of brackets, but also reduce the vibration of automobile during operation.
