金属镁广泛应用于汽车制造业、轻工业、冶金工业、化学工业、电子工业和仪表制造业等。镁合金的卓越性能与靓丽身姿受到了电脑、家电、手机等制造商的青睐。
它具有比重低、单位重量强度大、化学稳定性高等优越性能，使得铝镁合金及其镁模铸件倍受青睐，金属镁业得到迅速发展。汽车工业应用镁合金具有高强度、耐热、耐磨和重量轻的优点，使其在汽车工业中逐渐代替汽车上的塑料制品和比重较大的钢制部件，主要取代原有的发动机、方向盘、座椅底座等等。
Magnesium metal is widely used in automobile manufacturing, light industry, metallurgical industry, chemical industry, electronics industry and instrument manufacturing industry. The excellent performance and beautiful posture of magnesium alloy are favored by manufacturers of computers, home appliances, mobile phones, etc.
It has the superior properties of low specific gravity, high strength per unit weight and high chemical stability, which makes aluminum-magnesium alloy and its magnesium mold castings highly favored, and the magnesium metal industry has developed rapidly. Magnesium alloy has the advantages of high strength, heat resistance, wear resistance and light weight, making it gradually replace plastic products and steel parts with large specific gravity in the automobile industry, mainly replacing the original engine, steering wheel, seat base and so on.
