Case study of lightweighting large aluminum castings using magnesium.
We will introduce a case where we successfully reduced reinforcement parts and replaced materials, achieving the intended weight reduction.
We received a request from a general parts manufacturer stating, "We would like to significantly reduce weight by changing all the large aluminum castings used in the vibration testing device's housing to magnesium." As a result, we achieved weight reduction using magnesium alloy. The customer commented, "The cost of the individual target parts has increased, but we successfully reduced reinforcement parts and replaced materials, achieving the desired weight reduction. We also appreciate that we could entrust the surface treatment against oxidation to a vendor, as there are not many handling magnesium casting." 【Method Details】 ■ Method: Precision sand casting ■ Material: AZ91D (magnesium alloy) ■ Heat treatment: None ■ Post-processing: Chemical treatment *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
