PS Form 3526-R, September 2006 (Page 2 of 3) from 479,000 tonnes in 2000 to 726,000 tonnes in 2006. China supplied only 4 percent of world demand in 1995, and now the figure has reached a staggering 72 percent. With increasing capacity and falling prices, more and more design engineers are turning to magnesium as an alternative to plastics, composites, zinc, aluminium, or even steel. New magnesium alloys and processing techniques have combined to overcome some of the traditional concerns about the properties of magnesium. There is now a range of alloys with excellent casting qualities in terms of flow properties and melt characteristics. The low density and small draft angles of magnesium make for cheap and rapid machining of highprecision parts. Magnesium can easily be molded into complex shapes using technologies such as thixomolding, similar to plastics molding techniques. Magnesium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any of the commonly used metals. It is lighter even than aluminum and has none of the problems associated with the processing of titanium. There are many examples of applications for magnesium that have been enabled by Keronite. It has recently been specified as a replacement for toxic hexavalent chrome to treat magnesium door-frame inners for a leading automotive OEM. In this application, the Keronite layer not only provides the necessary corrosion prevention, but also acts as an ideal surface for adhesive bonding. In another example, on wing mirrors for a Japanese manufacturer, Keronite provides resistance to both corrosion and wear. Also in the automotive industry, magnesium treated using the Keronite process has been used on engine covers by an OEM in Germany since 2005. Keronite is also being used in a variety of consumer products to provide corrosion resistance and a good base for topcoats of paints or lacquers on handheld electronics such as mobile phone covers and laptop cases. Other examples include hand tools, where a hard surface and thermal stability are the key requirements, and bicycle components, where the inherent damping qualities of magnesium can bring benefits, but an alternative to chromate was sought as a means of preventing corrosion and providing good adhesion for decorative top coats. www.applianceDESIGN.com 52 applianceDESIGN November 2007 http://www.usps.com http://www.usps.com http://www.appliancedesign.com
