Elektron (alloy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elektron is the registered trademark of Magnesium Elektron Limited for a range of magnesium alloys. The alloys include varying amounts of zirconium, thorium, zinc, or rare earth metals. Different variants of the alloy exhibit properties such as increased tensile strength, creep resistance, or corrosion resistance. The alloy variants are sometimes used in auto racing and aerospace engineering applications due to magnesium's relatively low density.
