Magnesium is one of the lightest available metals and is commonly used in metallic alloys due to its light weight, strength, and corrosion resistance. The metal is used the production of many lightweight products requiring durability, such as laptops, cameras, and power tools. It can also be a sulfur removing agent when combined with molten iron. Magnesium is the third most commonly used structural metal, following iron and aluminum.

Magnesium in its purest form can be compared with aluminum. It is strong and light, and used in high volume manufacturing applications. As a magnesium supplier, most sheets and plates are sent to aircraft and automotive projects.

The second application of magnesium is in electronic devices. Because of low weight, good mechanical and electrical properties, magnesium is widely used for manufacturing of mobile phones, laptop computers, cameras, and other electronic components.
