Magnesium alloys are lightweight structural materials offering an excellent combination of low density, high specific strength, vibration damping, machinability and electromagnetic shielding performance. They are widely used in automotive, aerospace, robotics, electronics, machinery, transportation and other lightweight engineering applications.

At Hilbo Magnesium Alloy Material Co., Ltd., we supply a wide range of magnesium alloy materials in sheet, plate, bar, rod, tube, pipe, profile, wire and customized forms. Materials can be supplied according to applicable ASTM, AMS, EN, ISO, GB and other customer-specified standards.

Common Magnesium Alloy Grades
AZ Series Magnesium Alloys

The AZ series is one of the most widely used magnesium alloy families, primarily alloyed with aluminum and zinc.

Magnesium Alloy Grade Main Alloying Elements Typical Product Forms Typical Applications
AZ31B Al, Zn, Mn Sheet, Plate, Bar, Rod, Tube, Profile Automotive, aerospace, electronics, robotics, machinery, vibration-damping applications
AZ40M Al, Zn, Mn Sheet, Plate, Bar, Rod, Tube, Profile Structural components, machinery and engineering applications
AZ41M Al, Zn, Mn Sheet, Plate, Bar, Rod, Tube, Profile Structural components, machinery and engineering applications
AZ61A Al, Zn, Mn Sheet, Plate, Bar, Rod, Tube, Profile Structural components, transportation and engineering applications
