[Dual Momentum in the Magnesium Industry: Coordinated Empowerment of New Development Through Salt Lake Resource Security and Breakthroughs in End-Use Applications] As one of the lightest known structural metallic materials, magnesium combines outstanding properties such as light weight, high strength, and high thermal conductivity, making it a core strategic material supporting industrial upgrading in sectors such as automotive lightweighting and new energy materials. China’s magnesium industry is advancing on two fronts, simultaneously promoting breakthroughs in end-use application technologies and securing raw material supply, overcoming bottlenecks in industrial development and supporting the high-quality development of the magnesium industry.

[Magnesium Alloys Lead New Quality Productive Forces, Hydrogen Storage Goes Global + Vehicle Weight Reduction Reaches New Peaks] China’s magnesium alloy sector achieved two major breakthroughs, demonstrating the strong capabilities of indigenous innovation. On the one hand, a large-scale magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage device equipped with proprietary technology was successfully loaded at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Port and shipped to Malaysia, addressing longstanding pain points in traditional hydrogen storage and transportation and filling a gap in international maritime transport technology. On the other hand, the semi-solid injection-molded magnesium alloy seat frame assembly of FAW Hongqi was successfully installed, marking a key upgrade in vehicle lightweighting, with significant weight reduction achieved for each assembly. Spanning the two core fields of hydrogen storage and transportation and vehicle lightweighting, these achievements accelerated the scaled-up application of the magnesium alloy industry.

[SMM Express] According to reports, recently, LK Group and Zhejiang Chengcheng Technology Co., Ltd. along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Anhui Chengcheng Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chengcheng Technology") reached an important strategic cooperation, purchasing more than ten large intelligent die-casting units from LK in one go.
