In order to meet customer requirements, technology developments need to stay focused at process rationalization and quality improvements. Combining the twin-roll casting technology and caliber rolling technology for magnesium wire, customer demands concerning cost-efficiency and high quality could be satisfied. For this purpose, the paper analyzes potential application fields and their demanded quality properties. Special requirements of illustrative magnesium long products are shown by adapting existing specifications of aluminum wire. The resulting long products could be applied in the automotive industry and aircraft sector as joining and welding elements or in biomedicine as screws. Finally, the innovative magnesium wire production technology will be explained and the advantages, in particular the resource efficiency, of the developed technology will be discussed.
