Magnesium Buyers Guide: AZ31B, AZ91D and Alloy Forms

Magnesium Buyers Guide: AZ31B, AZ91D and Alloy Forms

Short answer: This magnesium buyers guide explains that AZ31B sheet serves structural and automotive panels, AZ91D die-cast serves housings, and AM60B serves crash parts, with demand driven by magnesium’s lowest density of all structural metals and good stiffness-to-weight; buyers should confirm alloy, temper and certificate, and match form to automotive, aerospace or electronics weight-saving use with our light-alloy knowledge.
