Magnesium alloy materials and aluminum alloy materials are both lightweight metal materials with certain characteristics. The following gives you a brief introduction to the characteristics of each of them:

Magnesium alloy material:

1. Lightweight and high strength: magnesium alloy is a lightweight metal material, less dense than aluminum alloy, but with high tensile strength and stiffness. Therefore, magnesium alloy is an ideal choice in applications where weight reduction is required.

2. Corrosion resistance: Magnesium alloys have good corrosion resistance and are able to maintain stable performance for a long time in a number of corrosive environments, which makes it widely used in aerospace, automotive and other fields.

3. good thermal conductivity: due to the magnesium alloy has good thermal conductivity, so it is often used in areas that require heat dissipation, such as heat sinks for electronic equipment.

 

Aluminum alloy materials:

1. High strength: aluminum alloy has high strength, much greater than ordinary aluminum materials. This gives it a wide range of applications in areas where structural strength is required, such as aerospace and construction.

2. Good plasticity and machinability: Aluminum alloy material has good plasticity and machinability, which can be used to make various complex shapes of parts to meet the needs of different occasions through some machining processes, such as extrusion, deep stamping and so on.

3. Corrosion resistance: aluminum alloy also has good corrosion resistance, in the oxidation environment can form a layer of oxide film, play a certain protective effect.

 

In order to be able to make our e-bikes lighter, we choose to use magnesium alloy material to produce our products.
