The Opportunities and Benefits of RE Magnesium Alloy Die-cast in 3C Products Application

摘要

Structural parts integration becomes an important characteristic of the enclosures of the 3C products, so that complicated shape and thin wall design is necessary for the housing. In the future, magnesium alloy die-casting is still the main solution for the enclosures manufacturing because of good cast ability and low cost. The higher stiffness, strength, better EMS, compared with plastic, also enhances the reliability of 3C products. Recently, further improvement of the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys by Rare-earth (RE) has been widely reported. In order to understand the advantages of RE magnesium alloys in 3C product enclosure die-casting, magnesium alloys with RE addition will be die-cast and the performance will be evaluated. Accordingly, the opportunities and benefits of RE magnesium alloy die-cast in 3C products application will be presented and reported. Better understanding of magnesium alloys development will encourage the application of magnesium alloys in IT industries.
