Abstract
Alloys of magnesium with a high content of thorium are produced by adding magnesium to a molten solution of thorium halide in an alkaline earth metal halide. A mixture of thorium halides may be used, and/or a mixture of alkaline earth metal halides, and the reaction is usually carried out in an inert atmosphere. The alloys may be used for structural purposes or as master alloys. Production of alloys containing 18%, 24% and 57.1% of thorium is described.
