Product Overview
The Aluminum-Magnesium (AlMg) alloy is aversatile, lightweight material known for its excellent combination ofstrength, corrosion resistance, and formability. By incorporating magnesiuminto the aluminum matrix, this alloy enhances mechanical properties withoutsignificantly increasing weight, making it ideal for industries that prioritizeweight reduction and durability, such as automotive, aerospace, and marinesectors. The AlMg alloy is particularly valued for its good weldability andresistance to seawater corrosion, making it a preferred choice for applicationsexposed to harsh environments.
