If saving weight is a priority for your applications, magnesium is the ideal material, it has in fact the lowest density of all structural metals. Almost as light in weight as plastic, magnesium has the advantage of greater strength and rigidity along with inherent EMI shielding, durability, heat-dissipation and full recyclability. It is fully recyclable, is non-toxic, non-magnetic, and used in car parts, laptop computers, mobile phones and power tools. Excellent in absorbing energy vibration, acts as a damper and is highly dent resistant. Lightweight parts are the key to reducing vehicle weight and therefore improving automotive fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
