AZ61A
UNS M11610
Description
Magnesium alloy AZ61A is a general-purpose magnesium alloy which is both gas and arc weldable. Because of its wide solidification range, AZ61A alloy demonstrates more complex deformation behavior in a semi-solid state. AZ61A has a higher tensile strength and superior corrosion resistance compared to AZ61A and it is possible to perform various finishing on its surface. AZ61A alloys are generally used in applications that require good strength at moderate costs, such as hollow shape extrusions, solid extrusions, bearing caps, bearing housings, fitting, rocker arm supports, screw machine components.
