Electrical Resistivity of Common Magnesium Alloys

Magnesium alloys generally exhibit low electrical resistivity, making them good conductors of electricity. The specific resistivity of magnesium alloys can vary depending on the alloy composition, temperature, and processing conditions.

The following table provides a curated list of electrical resistivity values for common magnesium alloys at standard room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F) and 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
