Magnesium-Zirconium Alloys
Magnesium alloys are an important structural material in aerospace and car industries,
as well as in some other areas.
Their main characteristics are small specific weight, good mechanical properties, good processing and resistance to corrosion.
Weight savings, good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance are key factors in making magnesium-zirconium alloys a preferred structural material choice in automotive and aerospace applications Zirconium is particularly useful for influencing grain size control for which magnesium alloys without this inclusion have a tendency to display characteristic grain growth.
