Company Background
Advanced Magnesium Technologies (AMT) develops and brings to market a broad range of technologies that widens the scope of applications for magnesium alloys and assists manufacturing processes. Advanced Magnesium Technologies has a global applications team, key development and production alliances, and a portfolio of patented alloys and technologies.
Advanced Magnesium Technologies works closely in Australia with CAST Cooperative Research Centre in its research and development program that provides a pipeline of emerging new technologies.
The biggest potential market for magnesium alloys is in the automotive industry. Although significant opportunities exist for increasing magnesium alloy usage in automobiles, many of these new applications require the development of new alloys, improved manufacturing technologies and significant design and technical support for the automotive supply chain. As well as working with the automotive industry, Advanced Magnesium Technologies is also engaged with other industries, such as personal electronics and communications, where the demand for magnesium alloys can be increased.
Because of its enhanced surface finishing characteristics, Advanced Magnesium Technologies' latest alloy, AM-lite, offers significant opportunities to replace zinc, aluminium and plastic in decorative applications. Significant cost savings can be realised by using AM-lite. Apart from the automotive industry, opportunities exist for AM-lite in motorcycles, consumer electronics, home hardware and other products.
Advanced Magnesium Technologies' new high strength creep resistant magnesium alloys for automotive powertrain applications make it possible for auto manufacturers to reduce the weight of critical systems, such as engines and transmissions. Fuel efficiency can thus be improved, and exhaust emissions reduced, while maintaining or improving the performance of vehicles.
OUR BUSINESS
Our business strategy is based upon the skills of the Advanced Magnesium Technologies team, growth of its portfolio of key intellectual property, sound commercial relationships, and development alliances with key companies in complementary fields.
Advanced Magnesium Technologies:
- Develops, manufacturers and sells proprietary alloys for global use in new applications;
- Develops and sells unique, cost saving melt handling technologies for the magnesium casting market;
- Produces its proprietary products by remelting, alloying and casting patented magnesium alloys at
selected facilities under licence;
- Invests in the development of new technologies primarily through the Australian Cooperative Research
Centre, CAST; and
supports the users of its products and other magnesium users with advisory services and associated cost saving technologies.
