    Aluminum and magnesium alloys are increasingly being used in vehicles due to their light weight and corrosion resistance, allowing for increased performance and fuel economy. Magnesium is 75% lighter than steel and helps meet tightening fuel economy standards and performance expectations as vehicle designs grow more complex. Both metals work with active and passive safety systems including airbags, anti-lock brakes, and engine control units to improve overall vehicle safety.

    Lightweight Metal
    Aluminum
    Aluminum structures can be lighter
    than steel structures, resulting in
    lighter vehicles, which can increase
    performance and/or operating
    economy.
    Aluminum alloys are more corrosion
    resistant in typical vehicular
    applications.

    Magnesium
    As standards for greater fuel
    economy tighten and automobile
    designs become more complex, steel
    simply can't deliver on higher
    performance expectations
    75% lighter than steel.
