Under the background of lightweighting, magnesium alloy lightweighting track achieves dual-line breakthroughs! [SMM Research]

Published: Nov 21, 2025 17:12
Amid the global wave of lightweight and low-carbon transformation in high-end manufacturing, magnesium alloy has emerged as a key material leveraging its core advantages such as high specific strength, shock absorption, and heat dissipation. Recently, the industry has witnessed two major breakthroughs: Mingmei Magnesium Industry, a specialist in the semi-solid magnesium alloy track, has achieved mass production, with its first batch of products meeting performance standards and empowering upgrades across multiple sectors; Xinbo Co., Ltd., a leader in the photovoltaic aluminum frame niche market, has made cross-border forays, successfully completing the mold opening of magnesium alloy structural components for robots and preparing to sample them to leading robot customers by the end of November. Through "deepening specialization" and "cross-border breakthrough" models respectively, the two enterprises are injecting new momentum for lightweight development into high-end manufacturing fields such as new energy vehicles and intelligent robots.

Mingmei Magnesium Industry Deepens Its Footprint in the Magnesium Alloy Niche, with Semi-Solid Products Empowering Lightweight Upgrades Across Multiple Sectors

Focused on the magnesium alloy segment, Mingmei Magnesium Industry's core products are key complex thin-walled semi-solid magnesium alloy components, widely applied in new energy vehicles, aerospace, 3C electronics, medical devices, robots, and other fields, providing lightweight solutions for various industries.

In the new energy vehicle sector, the company offers technologically verified lightweight solutions for next-generation electric vehicle chassis, door frames, and other components, helping vehicles "reduce weight and enhance efficiency"; in the aerospace field, its products meet the stringent requirements for high-strength and lightweight materials in aircraft interior parts and airborne equipment structural components; simultaneously, it develops lighter and stronger joint and arm structures for industrial robots, and provides integrated large-size magnesium alloy casings for 3C products such as laptops and servers. Notably, the company's first batch of off-line products has passed strict inspections, with all performance indicators meeting or even exceeding customer standards. This marks that its semi-solid die-casting process and quality management system have been validated through practice, officially enabling it to supply high-quality magnesium alloy products to the market and injecting new impetus into lightweight upgrades across multiple sectors.

Xinbo Co., Ltd. Makes a Cross-Border Breakthrough! Mold Opening of Magnesium Alloy Structural Components for Robots, Sampling to Leading Customers by Late November

Xinbo Co., Ltd. has announced significant progress: the independently developed magnesium alloy structural components for robots have successfully entered the mold opening phase, and samples are expected to be sequentially delivered to leading robot customers starting from late November. This breakthrough signifies the company's key achievements in the application of high-end lightweight materials and marks its strategic entry from the new energy track into the core field of intelligent robots.

As a leader in the photovoltaic aluminum frame niche market, Xinbo Co., Ltd. has accumulated profound technological expertise and large-scale production experience in the R&D, extrusion, precision machining, and surface treatment of lightweight metal materials. This cross-border R&D effort is a successful practice of leveraging mature technologies and quality control systems from the new energy sector to empower high-end manufacturing. Endowed with high specific strength, excellent shock absorption, and superior heat dissipation, magnesium alloy perfectly matches the core requirements of robots (especially humanoid robots) for dexterous movement, low energy consumption, and high responsiveness.

Summary

From lightweight robot components to core automotive configurations, magnesium alloy has become a key material link connecting the automotive and robotics industries. The recent developments of Mingmei Magnesium Industry and Xinbo Co., Ltd. highlight the application potential of magnesium alloy in high-end manufacturing and the trend of industrial upgrading. These cases not only demonstrate the diverse application scenarios of magnesium alloy but also predict that it will drive the industry into a new phase of "material-driven innovation." In the future, with the optimization of magnesium alloy production processes, cost reduction, and improvement of industry standards, its application in automotive lightweighting and robot intelligence will be further deepened, becoming one of the core drivers of global industrial upgrading.

Silicon Metal Market Review for January and Outlook for February
In January, the silicon metal market experienced a relatively loose supply-demand balance, with a theoretical inventory buildup of approximately 30,000 mt. In February, both supply and demand contracted simultaneously, and the market is expected to show a tight balance or minor destocking. The current high industry inventory still requires time to be digested, and the sustainability of destocking remains a key variable affecting price trends and market sentiment.

A plant in northern China is calling for bids for indium ingots and bismuth ingots
SMM, February 6 - According to SMM’s investigation of market information, a large smelter in northern China began public bidding for a certain quantity of indium ingots and bismuth ingots starting yesterday. Market sources indicate that the starting price for these indium ingots exceeds 4,000 yuan per kilogram, while the starting price for bismuth ingots is above 150,000 yuan per ton. The bidding results are expected to be announced before the Spring Festival. Market participants note that, given the clear trend of sluggish trading activity ahead of the Spring Festival, the timing of this bidding is not ideal. However, the relatively favorable starting prices have generated considerable market anticipation for the outcome of the bidding.
