Magnesium Flat Bars

Magnesium flats are a great alternative when the heavy load bearing characteristics of plate is not necessary.

We stock magnesium flat bar products in a range of incremental sizes, which will be closer to your finished requirements.

Save Money:

Supplying in this way offers you the potential to save time and money since it can remove the need for you to machine the material down. There is very little structural difference between flat and plate products with the primary difference being in size. Flat products are less than 8 inches in width.

Cutting to Size:

Magnesium offers a much lower cutting resistance when compared to other alloys (only 10% of steel). Use of a sharp cutting tool ensures that the process is relatively safe and straightforward. However, the management of magnesium dust and powder produced during the process is critical. These residues are highly flammable if exposed to contact with water and should be safely and securely stored away. We process your flat magnesium products in-house. Our expertise ensures that we process products to size safely and efficiently.

Laboratory Services:

We offer our customers comprehensive metallurgical support when they need it. We do this via our own UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory, which adds unique and considerable value to our customers. Our state-of-the-art facility provides various testing methods and also undertakes customer investigations.
