Magnesium Alloy Foil (Alloy: AZ31B, Thickness: 0.05 mm, Width: 100 mm)
Magnesium alloy is gaining global attention for its incredibly low specific gravity approximately 1/4.5 that of steel and 1/2.5 that of titanium—while maintaining excellent specific strength, stiffness, and damping performance.
Target Markets: Beyond mobile PCs and high-end smartphones, we expect significant growth in the expanding XR device market.
XR (Extended Reality): A collective term for cutting-edge technologies—including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR)—that merge physical and virtual environments to create immersive new experiences.
Sustainability & Mobility: In line with carbon-neutral goals, the demand for lightweight materials in transportation equipment—particularly in the aerospace and aviation sectors—is rapidly growing.
1. Development Background
As a pioneer in the rolling of magnesium alloys, we have led the industry since starting basic research in 1998. And in 2002, we became the first in Japan to achieve mass production using large-scale coils. This product is widely used in the chassis of personal computers and smartphones, among other applications.
And now by integrating our proprietary rolling and material development technologies, we have established mass-production technology for ultra-thin magnesium alloy foil, reaching a thickness as low as 0.044mm.
2. Key Features of Magnesium Alloy Foil
Our Magnesium Alloy Foil provides three distinct advantages for manufacturers:
Feature | Description | Benefit |
1. Long-Length Coils | Achieved stable coil production even for difficult-to-roll magnesium. | Enables continuous processing (progressive/transfer press), boosting production efficiency. |
2. High Strength & Formability | Maintains strength and plasticity comparable to thicker plates. | Can be press-formed with the same ease as standard-gauge magnesium alloys. |
3. Superior Damping | Naturally absorbs vibrations and reduces noise. | Enhances audio quality in speaker diaphragms and improves stability in mobile device chassis. |

Experian Expands Agent Trust Partner Ecosystem with Akamai to Advance Trusted AI Driven Commerce15.5.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Experian today announced that Akamai Technologies has joined its growing partner ecosystem, designed to further advance secure, trusted AI driven commerce through the Experian Agent Trust™ framework, alongside partner Skyfire supporting emerging payment innovation. As AI agents begin to search, decide, and transact autonomously, they introduce a fundamental challenge for businesses: how to trust an action when it is no longer directly initiated by a human. Without a verified connection between humans and AI agents, autonomous commerce introduces new risks in fraud, misrepresentation, and unauthorized transactions. Experian Agent Trust is designed to address this challenge by establishing identity, accountability, and trust in agent driven interactions. “Trust, security, and performance must scale alongside the growing role of AI agents in digital commerce,” said Kathleen Peters, Chief Innovation Officer at Experian. “Agentic commerce will not scale without trust.
