SoluMag®

Dissolving and Non-Dissolving Magnesium Alloys for the Oil and Gas Industry

Luxfer MEL Technologies is the world leader in the development and supply of highly functional dissolving and non-dissolving magnesium alloys. The combination of strength and corrosion properties of these alloys was developed based on Luxfer’s extensive knowledge on how these materials function in severe applications.

The SoluMag® Platform

Our patented SoluMag® technology provides the platform with dissolving and non-dissolving alloys to support applications where strength properties and dissolution rates are vital.

Tube and Bar

Our SoluMag® alloys are robust and can be used to produce components for downhole equipment (such as frac plugs) that have the strength required in demanding environments to perform for oil field operations.

SoluMag® alloys are designed with controlled corrosion rates as well as tailored mechanical properties for strength and ductility requirements.

SoluMag® Products

Alloys across the dissolving and non-dissolving spectrum to fit your needs for strength, ductility, and dissolution requirements.

SoluMag® 1100

SoluMag® 1100 is a standard magnesium alloy that has a high corrosion rate in aqueous chloride environments. This lightweight alloy is available as balls, extruded rods, bars, tubes and profiles to produce components that have strength and ductility in demanding environments

SoluMag® HD

SoluMag® HD offers a new solution to downhole problems, having superior ductility to conventional dissolvable magnesium alloys as well as a well-controlled corrosion rate.

SoluMag® FW

SoluMag® Freshwater is specifically designed to corrode in very low chloride environments. This  alloy is available as balls, extruded rods, bars, tubes and profiles to produce components that require strength and ductility.

SoluMag® ND80

SoluMag® ND80 is a lightweight, high strength non-dissolving, corrosion resistant magnesium alloy that provides an excellent balance of strength and corrosion performance while being cost effective.

Machined Magnesium

Magnesium is the lightest structural metal and exhibits excellent machinability. We specialise in machined magnesium, offering an innovative solution to all the common problems associated with machining magnesium alloy materials.
