AMT AM-Lite® Die Casting Magnesium Alloy (discontinued **)
Categories:	Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Magnesium Alloy
Material Notes:	AM-lite is a high surface finish die casting alloy suitable for applications that currently utilize zinc, aluminum or magnesium (alloy AZ91D) die castings, or plastic injection moldings. AM-lite has better die casting properties than existing magnesium alloys, plus an improved as-cast surface finish that is suitable for decorative surface finishing operations. A special electroplating process has been developed for AM-Lite to take advantage of these properties. MatWeb has no current information about the producer, Advanced Magnesium Technologies (AMT).
