Heptadeca-magnesium dodeca-aluminide

Uses

Magnesium alloys are light metallic structural materials with a unique combination of properties, which are very attractive in applications such as the automobile, aerospace and electronic industries. The use of magnesium alloys has become significant due to a onethird lower density of magnesium compared with aluminum, improved damping ability, a higher resistance to corrosion and better mechanical properties. The presence of g-Mg17Al12 contributes significantly o improved properties over the usage of aluminum alloys in these applications.
