Magnesium is the lightest of all metals and is abundantly available on earth’s crust. It is easily ignitable in carbon dioxide and nitrogen environments. Aluminum, copper, zinc and nickel are some of the metals with which it is commonly alloyed.
Magnesium Elektron WE54 is a heat treatable high strength casting alloy. It can be used in temperatures of up to 300°C (572°F). This alloy has good mechanical properties coupled with improved corrosion resistance and good castability.
Magnesium is among the most abundantly available metals on the Earth’s crust. It is the lightest of all metals and easily machinable. It is commonly alloyed with aluminum, zinc, copper and other non-ferrous metals.
Magnesium is the sixth most abundant metal on the Earth’s crust. Its applications are limited by its easily ignitable nature. It is alloyed with non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, nickel etc.
