Magnesium Spooled Wire

Magnesium Spooled Wire is a product available from Goodfellow in a range of 116 variations. Magnesium is known for its low density and high strength. Magnesium wire finds use in a variety of applications including as a sacrificial anode for cathodic protection of pipelines, storage tanks, steel ships and bridges exposed to seawater. The low weight and high specific strength also makes magnesium wire suitable for automotive and aerospace applications where weight reduction is critical. With 116 variations, Goodfellow's Magnesium Spooled Wire range offers options for corrosion protection, conductivity enhancement, high purity, and mechanical strength optimization.
