TCT Asia 2026 | Engineering Pathways for Magnesium Alloy Additive Manufacturing
TCT Asia 2026 will open on March 17 in Shanghai. Tangshan Weihao Magnesium Powder Co.,Ltd. will present its magnesium alloy additive manufacturing material systems and engineering approaches at Hall 7.1, Booth 7F128.
Rather than focusing on product display, this presentation centers on a key technical question:
How can magnesium alloys achieve stable engineering implementation in additive manufacturing?
1. Material Systems: Engineering Positioning of Different Alloy Families
Material selection directly determines process windows and final component performance in magnesium AM.
AZ Series (e.g., AZ91D)
Balanced mechanical properties and good process adaptability for lightweight structural parts.
WE Series (e.g., WE43)
Rare-earth strengthened systems offering enhanced thermal stability, suitable for aerospace and biomedical applications.
ZK Series (e.g., ZK61)
High specific strength systems designed for extreme lightweight structural optimization.
Each alloy system responds differently to heat input, cooling rate, and microstructure control, requiring tailored process parameters.
2. Equipment System: Why Dedicated Magnesium Printing Matters
Magnesium alloys demand stricter safety protocols, oxygen control, and inert atmosphere management during AM processing.
The dedicated magnesium alloy printing system emphasizes:
Full inert gas protection
Strict oxygen level control
Stable heat input management
Integrated material–process optimization
Stable printing performance relies on coordinated optimization between powder characteristics and machine parameters.
3. Printing Services: From Validation to Small-Batch Production
For research and limited production runs, magnesium alloy printing services focus on:
Process window validation
Stability assessment
Microstructure and mechanical performance evaluation
Batch consistency control
The objective is to reduce development cycles and improve engineering efficiency.
4. Lightweight Engineering Trends
In aerospace, consumer electronics, low-altitude aviation, and biomedical sectors, lightweight structural demand continues to grow.
Magnesium alloys offer advantages in specific strength, specific stiffness, and controllable microstructures.
When material systems, powder quality, and process control form a closed technical loop, the application boundary of magnesium AM expands significantly.
We welcome technical discussions at Hall 7.1, Booth 7F128 during TCT Asia 2026.
