Magnesium Alloys and Its Heat Treatment | Metallurgy
Magnesium alloys have characteristics, which place them in a separate class of alloys, like great chemical stability, ease of machinability and fabrication, light weight (density - 1.8 gm/cc) as a consequence of which, alloys have high strength-to-weight ratios. Magnesium alloys are two-third the weight of aluminium and one-fourth the weight of iron and steel. Thus, half of the magnesium produced [...]
