Aerospace Magnesium Alloys for Aerospace Applications

Luxfer MEL Technologies alloys are used by many OEMs on aircraft engines and are also found in transmissions and structures on jet engines.

Elektron® alloys are the materials of choice for transmission housings of many commercial and military helicopters.

The benefits of high-performance aerospace magnesium alloys include reducing weight in fuselage structures, interior appliances and aero engine frames.

Highly machinable, versatile magnesium alloys are used in manufacturing gearboxes, covers and components, helicopter transmissions, electronic housings, flight control systems and aircraft wheels, to maximise fuel efficiency and enhance durability.

For applications in both commercial and military aircraft, demand is rising for advanced higher-performance, high-temperature Elektron® magnesium alloys that are also corrosion-resistant and ignition-resistant.
