During the last few decades the world has seen rapid growth in the application of magnesium and its alloys almost in every field of today's industry.
This is due to numerous characteristics of the metal, which permit its use both as a structural element, and as a chemical addition to other metal alloys. Among all structural metals on the market today, magnesium is the lightest.  One of the uses (applications) connected with this property is, for example, Forged Mag Wheels.

In addition to consumer electronics, enjoying wide-ranging applications, the use of magnesium, with its impressive light-weight properties, moves toward accommodating current trends in automotive development. By reducing the weight of the vehicle, fuel consumption and emissions are reduced, as well as other improvements such as vibration dampening within the suspension system and increased breaking safety.
The latest technical developments in finishing and coating help to avoid many key-issues related to magnesium expansion in the automotive industry with respect to corrosion.
Magnesium is also used because of its beauty. The surface treated magnesium compound of aluminum and coated with chrome looks better than aluminum. Polished magnesium looks bright and memorable.
Although magnesium and rare metals, the most commonly used in automobiles for the prestigious and popular drug-racing (racing in a straight line?). It makes building pumps, fuel filters, valve covers, oil pans, fuel injectors, and much more.
Magnesium wheels or Mag Wheels are sometimes used in racing cars. Conventional specifications alloys: ZK60, AZ31 or AZ91. Forged magnesium wheels (Cast magnesium) are usually used for motorcycles.
Shock absorbers, made of magnesium alloy Damping of 100 times better than the same aluminum. Magnesium wheels reduce the load on the engine, suspension and front of the car, which will allow you to save you money.
Magnesium alloys have high thermal conductivity, which will ensure rapid cooling of the brake parts and the central part of the wheel.
Other applications of magnesium include the use of civil aircraft, helicopters, satellites, and ultrafast mechanisms derived parts are manufactured using a closed die forging.

Magnesium in Aluminium Alloys

A large number of magnesium cast under pressure is made with 8-9% aluminum. For example alloy AM60 (6% Al) provides the force necessary for a good cast automotive wheels and alloy AS41 (4% Al, 0,7% Si) for the corrected yield required for the latest versions of Volkswagen vehicles with air-cooled engines.
In aluminium alloying, magnesium is added for strength, stiffness and durability. It also improves the resistance of aluminium to corrosion, particularly in the manufacture of thin sheets. The amount of alloying varies between 1% and 10% depending on the specification and end use. These include the 5000 series containing 5.5% magnesium, the 7000 series ‘aerospace alloys’ containing 3.5% and the 5141 alloy containing 1.1% magnesium.
SMW Engineering is specializing in developing aluminum-magnesium alloys for manufacturing of Forged Wheel Blanks & Finished Wheels
For aerospace alloy used in the technique of forging sand forms, including small blotches SF6 or CO2 in the air.
Magnesium alloys unfortunately still use cooling markedly robust mechanisms for helicopters. Many other structural components, including the earth. Wheels are still in continuous production.
Magnesium is also used as a supplement to iron. In most cases ferrosilicon iron alloy containing from 5 to 10 percent magnesium.
