Magnesium, Mg; Hard-Rolled Sheet
Categories: Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Magnesium Alloy; Pure Element

Material Notes: Hard-rolled sheet applies only to tensile and/or hardness values; other property values are typical of the element. This entry is for pure Mg; MatWeb has over 125 Mg alloys entries too.

Magnesium alloys are very low density (1.7 g/cc) and can be treated to reasonably high strengths. Magnesium alloys are available in both wrought and cast forms. Its low density

Many Mg alloys are listed in MatWeb.
