Magnesium Recycling Services

Magnesium Elektron's leadership position in the supply of magnesium recycling services has been achieved through a relentless drive to deliver total magnesium recycling solutions to the magnesium die casting industry. In addition to recycling high grade process arisings, Magnesium Elektron has developed technology to process lower grade arisings such as magnesium swarf and dross.


Magnesium Recycling Services

The recycling of high quality arisings from the magnesium die casting process is a key element in determining the cost competitiveness of using magnesium for automotive and other applications. Our technical expertise and control in the application of Elektron® Magnesium Refining Technology enables our clients to maximise the value of their magnesium process arisings and return high purity alloy ingot displaying the highest quality characteristics back into their process.

External magnesium recycling solutions, independent from the chosen source of primary magnesium, are managed using Magnesium Elektron's global logistical infrastructure. Our tailored magnesium recycling solutions serve a broad range of companies; from the specialist magnesium die casting foundry supplying components to the ICT industries, through to the magnesium die casting plants and machining centres of some of the world's largest automotive manufacturers.


Material from a magnesium die casting foundry is traced all the way through the magnesium recycling operation. Spectrographic analysis on incoming material provides information on the chemical composition of the scrap as it enters the recycling operation. The information is shared with the magnesium die casting foundry in order to link variations in scrap composition to variations in the die casting process. This technique and a continuous dialogue with the die casting foundry ensures that the Elektron® magnesium recycling service operates as an integral part of the magnesium die casting operation.


Since Magnesium Elektron first began processing molten magnesium in 1936, our team has built an enviable reputation based upon quality, service and innovation. Our aim is to build lasting relationships with our clients by working with them, as a partner of choice, to achieve their operational objectives.
