Magnesium is one of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust (2%) and it is the third element dissolved in seawater. Among structural metals currently on the market, magnesium is the lightest one: in fact magnesium has a density of 1,78 kg\dm3 compared for example to aluminium, which density is of 2,74 kg\dm3.

From the beginning of the motorsport’s era, the world of competitions has been inspired by aeronautic disciplines, where the lightness and reliability find they highest expression, and over time the search for materials that provide resistance and mechanical strength combined with minimum weight, has assumed an ever-growing importance, that has finally drawn the real divide between a normal transport vehicle and a sport vehicle.

As a consequence the magnesium alloys conquest of law the first place among all the metals used in the production of wheels and high-performance components.
