IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO MAGNESIUM BASE ALLOYS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4816487
It was found possible to incorporate both zirconium and aluminum in the same magnesium-base alloy in such a manner as to obtain a fine grain size even with less than 2~ aluminum present and to produce wrought anticles which are resistant to grain growth at elevated temperatures. The alloy consists of magnesium plus 0.25 to 10% by weight aluminum and from 0.1 to 0.7% zirconium. The method of preparation consists in flowing together two streams of molten magnesium alloys, one with aluminum and the other including zirconium, casting the combined stream, and chilling it quickly.
