Abstract

Magnesium-base alloys of low density and good tensile strength-some of which are also susceptible to heat-treatment hardening-comprise from 1-12 per cent lithium, 0.5-11 per cent zinc, not over 0.1 per cent sodium and the remainder magnesium with or without traces of impurities. Sodium is preferably absent as it is said to have a deleterious effect upon the mechanical properties of the alloys, and to minimize its amount the alloys are prepared by melting the magnesium under a flux preferably comprising one part lithium fluoride and three parts lithium chloride, and adding the zinc and lithium the latter being held beneath the molten metal surface by means of e.g., an inverted perforated steel cap. The alloys may be cold rolled after hot rolling, and are said to be suitable for wrought fabrication and castings, and particularly for rivets.
