In the past Magnesium had a better mechanical resistance than normal aluminum but it's less dense and it oxidizes quickly, forged aluminum is more resistant than magnesium now Mdcc_Tester : )
it oxidizes quickly
magnesium and its alloys have good resistance to corrosion. The rate of corrosion is slow compared with rusting of mild steel in the same atmosphere
