Magnesium is the fourth most common element in the Earth as a whole, and makes up 13% of the Earth’s mass. It is the third most commonly used structural metal, after iron and aluminium.
Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element in the earths crust. Magnesium alloys are easy to machine and process with conventional methods. Magnesium AZ92A-T7 alloy has good yield strength and high tensile strength.
Aluminium / aluminum 3000 series alloys provide a wide range of mechanical properties coupled with excellent corrosion resistance, weldability and formability.
Apart from iron, aluminium / aluminum is currently the next most widely used metal in the world. This is due to the fact that aluminium / aluminum has a unique combination of attractive properties.
Copper is a durable ductile reddish brown metal that has been used by man for centuries. Its remarkable properties of thermal and electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance have made this metal an essential material in everyday life.
Copper, a reddish brown metal, is found in many products that surround us. Wires, door knobs, taps, decorative items, coins, jewelry etc contain copper or its alloys.
