Forging Magnesium Alloys

A unique range of forging magnesium alloys for lighter, stronger, safer and high-performance designs.

Our direct chill cast billet has excellent formability characteristics which reduces processing costs for operators. Direct chill cast alloys are supplied in homogenised condition with a high-quality machined surface suitable for forging.

Key Features

Luxfer MEL Technologies is one of the leading producers of high-quality forging magnesium alloys in large volumes.

Our high-integrity billet exceeds the automotive industry standard for corrosion resistance, toughness, ductility and strength.

Magnesium is 30% lighter than aluminium, significantly reducing the mass of structural components in high performance applications.

We provide technical advice on forging magnesium alloys, forged magnesium wheels and machining magnesium materials.
