New Recrystallisation Behaviour Seen in Magnesium Alloy Elektron 675

Abstract:

There has recently been renewed interest in magnesium alloys from both the automotive and aerospace industries. Due to the low density (approximately 35% lower than aluminium) and high specific strength, these alloys can introduce significant weight savings, and consequently fuel savings, to both vehicles and aircraft. Elektron™ 675 is a new alloy based on the magnesium-yttrium-gadolinium ternary system, developed by Magnesium Elektron Ltd. for wrought applications. Elektron™ 675 has superior mechanical properties relative to the current commercially available wrought alloys AZ31B, WE43, and ZK60.
