Business Introduction
Magnesium Alloy Strips
"Light and strong" magnesium alloy strip
Magnesium alloys are the lightest of all practical metals and are also the stronger as metals.
Magnesium alloys are used in a variety of products such as computers, smartphones and medical devices, with their unique properties.
Nippon Kinzoku is the world’s first pioneer in the production of rolled magnesium alloy materials with high strength and excellent warm formability.
Through our self-developed rolling mills and original processing technology, we supply magnesium alloys with excellent mechanical properties, good processability and high surface quality.
Features of NIPPON KINZOKU’s magnesium alloy products
High strength and Excellent surface quality
We supply rolled magnesium alloys with high strength and high quality through our advanced rolling technology.
Thickness control
We supply materials with high thickness accuracy in a wide range of thicknesses from 0.045 mm to 2.0 mm, with our self-developed rolling mills and original rolling technology.
Excelent processability
We control the metallurgical structure and grain size with our original rolling control system and supply materials with high processability.
Full support for commercialisation
Nippon Kinzoku not only supplies materials, but also provides full support for customers’ commercialisation, through its plastic working (e.g. press processing) and surface treatment networks.
Material properties of magnesium alloys
- Lightweight
- The lightest of all practical metals.
(Specific gravity: 2/3 of aluminum 1/4.5 of iron) - Specific strength and Specific stiffness
- The metal with the highest specific strength and specific stiffness.
- Heat dissipation property
- Excellent heat dissipation
- Electromagnetic shielding properties
- Excellent insulation of electromagnetic waves, preventing electronic equipment from malfunctioning.
- Vibration absorption
- It has superior vibration absorption properties compared to aluminium and stainless steel.
Lightweight
Comparison of specific gravity
Magnesium alloys are lightest of all practical metals.
(Specific gravity: 2/3 of aluminum 1/4.5 of iron)
Specific strength and Specific stiffness
Comparison of deflections in equal-weight components
Magnesium alloys, which have superior specific stiffness in comparison with other materials of the same weight, have low deflection and are used as lightweight components in structures.
Thermal properties
High Thermal Responsiveness
When magnesium, aluminium and stainless steel plates of the same size are heated, magnesium rises in temperature in the shortest time. With this characteristic, it is used in heat treatment transport jigs, such as reflow pallets.
