Magnesium Elektron Elektron® 43 Magnesium Extrusion Alloy, UNS M18434
Categories:	Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Magnesium Alloy
Material Notes:	Elektron 43 is a light, high strength wrought magnesium alloy for use at temperatures up to 250°C. Designs in Elektron 43 can be 20% to 30% lighter than a corresponding aluminum design. Elektron 43 is available as rolled plate, forging feedstock and extruded bar, section & profile. Elektron 43 is an optimized wrought evolution of the original casting alloy, Elektron WE43. The properties of Elektron 43 mean it is well suited for use as feedstock material from which to machine high performance components, especially those associated with elevated temperature performance. Elektron 43 has undergone extensive flammability testing by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA have shown that the use of Elektron 43 in aircraft seat frames does not reduce the level of safety of the aircraft when compared to heavier aluminum seat components.
