Magnesium is one of the most abundant natural minerals found in the earth’s crust. It is lightest of all metals and used widely for many different structural applications. It is used in so many different items in our everyday lives from auto parts, power tools, sporting goods, aerospace equipment, fixtures, and material handling equipment. The fastest growing use of magnesium is in die casting. Many of the largest automobile manufacturing companies today use it for cylinder head covers, clutch housings, steering columns, wheels, instrumental panels, valve covers, and brake pedal brackets. This is because magnesium is light weight, durability, and casting properties. Furthermore, magnesium is used in a wide range of non-automotive die-case parts including chainsaw housing, bicycle frames, ski binding, video and digital camera housing, computer components, etc. It is almost impossible not to have any product in manufacturing and technology that does not include magnesium. The use of magnesium alloy is becoming more and more common and the growth for its use is exponential as technology continues to find more uses for it.
