Magnesium Elektron Elektron® RZ5 Magnesium Casting Alloy (Unverified Data**)
Categories:	Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Magnesium Alloy
Material Notes:	ELEKTRON RZ5 is a well proven magnesium casting alloy containing zinc, rare earths and zirconium. Used in the T5 condition, this high strength magnesium alloy is ideal for high integrity castings operating at ambient temperatures or up to 150°C. In addition to displaying excellent casting characteristics, the alloy is both pressure tight and weldable. Applications: The versatility of this alloy makes it of interest to a wide range of designers dealing with aerospace, automotive, military and electronic applications. Castings in ELEKTRON RZ5 are found in a wide range of applications including: Helicopter gearboxes Performance car components Video cameras Military equipment Computer parts Aircraft engines Power tools Vibration testing equipment Aircraft components Motorcycle wheels Information provided by Magnesium Elektron
