The basic properties of magnesium alloys suggest that they would readily find use in bicycles. Magnesium alloys have low density and a high strength-to-weight ratio, are readily extrudable, and some alloys are highly weldable. A lack of information about wrought magnesium alloys, a lack of suppliers to complete the production process, and a lack of information in how to set up a manufacturing plant to process wrought magnesium alloys have contributed to only limited market penetration by magnesium into bicycle applications. This article examines what has worked and what has not in the use of magnesium alloys in the bicycle business.
