Abstract

Magnesium alloys containing 0.1-1% of zirconium by weight are produced by puddling the alloy at a temperature above the liquidus and not exceeding 700 DEG C. with a zirconium master alloy, and then increasing the temperature to a temperature above the puddling temperature and above 690 DEG C. prior to puddling. The master alloy consists of (a) a mixture of halides having a melting point not exceeding 600 DEG C. and forming 1-15% of the master alloy; (b) a matrix phase consisting of magnesium containing zirconium with or without other permissible alloying elements; (c) metallic zirconium embedded in (b); and may be prepared by reaction of magnesium with a suitable salt mixture containing zirconium halide. The magnesium-zirconium alloy may also contain other alloying constituents such as zinc, rare earth metals, thorium silver, cadmium, and lead, which do not cause zirconium to precipitate from the molten alloy and small amounts of beryllium and manganese may also be present. Ranges specified are .Zinc.0-7% .Manganese.0-0.4% .Rare earths.0-1% .Beryllium.0-0.005% Specifications 511,137, 652,222, 652,230, 652,243, 715,967, 759,411 and 857,709 are referred to.
