MAGNESIUM TOOLING PLATE is specially produced to provide a flat plate surface with moderate strength and ductility. The production process results in plate with exceptional dimensional stability in machining and remains stable over time. There is sufficient ductility for limited room temperature forming combined with weldability to allow the manufacture of a multitude of complex parts. Wrought magnesium tooling plate (Alloy AZ31B) has the following benefits and characteristics:

DAMPING	Absorbs vibration for longer life, while retaining dimensional stability.
TOOLING	4 to 5 times greater tool life.
FINISH	Up to 5 times more machinable than rolled aluminum.
COSTS	Machine dry, without oil or chemicals.
WEIGHT	Easier handling saves energy and time.
FLATNESS	Eliminates surface machining.
STABILITY	No stress relief after machining; no warps and is dent resistant.
WELDING	Strong weldments up to 95% of parent metal, with minimal porosity.
ALKALI-RESISTANT	Makes for easy cleaning.
CORROSION RESISTANT	A wide variety of chemical treatments exists for corrosion protection, alteration of surface appearance, and to provide a base for painting. Basic engineering precautions averts galvanic corrosion.
STRENGTH	Excellent strength and stiffness per unit weight.
NON-GALLING	Sound and rugged surface, offering a low coefficient of friction and minimum wear,
REPID HEAT DISSIPATION	Ideal for a broad range of operating temperatures, from 350 degrees Fahrenheit to -30 degrees Fahrenheit.
NONMAGNETIC	Good for electrical and computer applications.
UNIT VOLUME YIELD	Greater amount of finished magnesium material obtained, pound for pound.
SALVAGE	Scrap retains a consistently high level of value.

APPLICATION

Those applications requiring a flat surface or high dimensional stability benefit from the use of magnesium tooling plate. Typical uses included jigs, fixtures, optical benches, vibration test equipment and inspection gauges. Magnesium Tooling Plate is non-magnetic and has high electrical and thermal conductivity filling many material requirements in the electronics and computer industries.
