New magnesium alloy AM-Lite for improved plating performance

Australian Advanced Magnesium Process Technologies specializes in the development of AM-Lite, a die-cast magnesium alloy for decorative applications. This new magnesium alloy is technically and economically superior to zinc alloys, aluminum alloys and AZ91D magnesium alloys as well as injection molded products. The new magnesium alloy AM-Lite fully meets the performance requirements of lightweight die-cast magnesium alloys for decorative surface applications.

The main advantages of AM-Lite magnesium alloy are light weight, good metallic luster, excellent die-castability, oxidation resistance and special suitability for lacquer coating and electroplating. Compared with zinc alloy, aluminum alloy and AZ91D magnesium alloy. The cost-saving advantage is lower than the cost of injection molding products. The excellent properties of AM-Lite magnesium alloy make it suitable for the processing and manufacturing of architectural hardware, consumer electronics and automotive decorative parts. MacDermid has developed the AM-Lite electroplating process technology, which utilizes the advantageous surface chemistry advantages of AM-Lite magnesium alloy, which greatly simplifies the processing and is essential for the electroplating of copper, nickel and chromium. . The treatment process of the new magnesium alloy die-casting body is only one more step than the processing process of the zinc alloy die-casting body, and the surface treatment requirement can be achieved with high efficiency.

At present, this new type of magnesium alloy has been widely used in commercial products; the die-casting plant has begun to try to adopt this new type of magnesium alloy; product developers have also evaluated and paid attention to this magnesium alloy, the first batch of this magnesium Alloy products have entered the market.

Characteristics of AM-Lite Magnesium Alloy 1. Compared with other magnesium alloys, AM-Lite magnesium alloy has anti-oxidation performance below solidification temperature and produces less oxidation on the casting surface, so it corresponds to the storage time of other magnesium alloy die-casting parts. Extend a lot.

2. Die-casting performance is similar to that of zinc alloy. It has good reproducibility in die-casting. It can be used to produce thin-walled die-casting parts. Compared with AZ91D magnesium alloy, the service life of the mold is extended, thus reducing downtime. Time increases the level of automation.

3. AM-Lite magnesium alloy has excellent as-cast surface, reduces the number of polishing, and has good deposition layer and fastness characteristics, especially for electroplating and painting deep processing. The quality of the aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy AZ91D plating layer is obviously lower than that of AM-Lite, and the processing cost of the plastic plating layer is quite high.

4. Using the electroplating process technology specially developed by MacDermid, the surface treatment eliminates the etching and deoxidation process steps, which are necessary for the aluminum and magnesium alloy AZ91D.

Comparison of AM-Lite Magnesium Alloy and Other Materials 1. Zinc: Zinc die-casting alloy has high die-casting properties and excellent electroplating performance, but the main disadvantages are high density and high current cost of the substrate. AM-Lite magnesium alloy density is one-third lower than zinc density, so for the same weight of material, AM-Lite magnesium alloy can process three times the number of parts processed by zinc alloy, the cost is only A quarter of the cost of zinc alloy parts. The high density of zinc makes zinc alloy die castings unsuitable for the manufacture of lightweight parts.

2. Aluminum: Aluminum alloy is not as die-cast as zinc alloy, so aluminum alloy is not used for the manufacture of thin-wall or complex die-casting parts, and is more suitable for processing thick-walled parts, such as automotive gearbox housings and other structures, aluminum density. It is 50% higher than magnesium density. When using magnesium alloy material, it has obvious advantages of light weight, especially in the case of processing aluminum alloy die-casting parts in large quantities and the material cost is relatively high, if AM-Lite magnesium alloy material is used. The cost of manufacturing and processing die castings is reduced by about 14%, and the magnesium molds are also longer than the aluminum alloy die-casting molds, and the cost is reduced.
