Advantages of aluminium and magnesium extrusion at Mifa
Thanks to precision extrusion, we offer engineers tremendous design freedom for automotive components. With tolerances of +/- 0.02 mm, the possibilities are endless, and designers do not have to consider limitations or standard norms.
Cost and weight savings with magnesium
One of our customers, Porsche, has for example opted for a magnesium roof after testing magnesium, aluminium, and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).
Magnesium came out on top, shaving off ten kilograms of weight as the strongest and lightest material. This incredible material is versatile and can be integrated into various stages of the production process.
By switching to magnesium components for the automotive industry, we can build lighter cars compared to using traditional materials.
