AZ80A is a wrought magnesium base alloy containing aluminium, zinc and manganese. Increased strength is obtained by artificial aging from the as-fabricated form. Elektron AZ80A has a fine controlled microstructure for improved forging performance and consistent mechanical properties of the forged part. Applications: AZ80A forgings can be used where pressure tightness or machinability are required. That parts are dimensionally stable during and after machining is also an important design consideration. Forgings in AZ80A find application in high strength parts for satellites, helicopter gearboxes and rotor hubs, bicycle frames, roadwheels, missile frames and interstage fairings, brake housings and landing gear struts.
