Magnesium Yttrium (Mg-Y) Master Alloy

Detailed introduction

Magnesium Yttrium (Mg-Y) Master Alloy

Magnesium is an important structural metal.

It is 1.5 times lighter than aluminum and 4 times lighter than steel.

Current world output of Mg is ~1.2 million tons.

Magnesium Rare Earth Alloy "Mg-Y" contains high percentages of yttrium and neodymium.

It is flame resistent, does not burn, also 1.5 times lighter than aluminum and 4 times lighter than steel.

Mg-Y is high strength, easy machining material for high performance components in increased temperature applications.

It replaces high-strength aluminium alloys in applications such as light weight parts for vehicles, aerospace, engines.
