Magnesium Alloy AZ80

  • Magnesium Alloy AZ80
  • General Characteristics

    The AZ80A alloy has greater strength than AZ61A and requires the slowest rate of deformation of the magnesium-aluminum-zinc alloys. To develop maximum properties, both AZ80A and ZK60A are heat treated to the artificially aged (T5) condition; AZ80A may be given the T6 solution heat treatment, followed by artificial aging to provide maximum creep stability.  AZ80A is not available in hollow shapes. Typical applications include extruded products and press forgings.
