What are magnesiums major benefits?
In short, magnesium is light, abundant and recyclable. Magnesium can be machined faster and has the best strength-to-weight ratio of any of the commonly used structural metals. It has excellent dimensional stability and is highly impact and dent resistant. Magnesium has excellent damping capacity and low inertia which makes it a good choice for parts which undergo frequent and sudden high-speed changes in the direction of motion. The new high purity alloys have corrosion resistance better than carbon, steel and some aluminum alloys.
