Alloys AS41B and AE42 are used in applications requiring improved
elevated temperature strength and creep resistance combined with
excellent ductility and corrosion resistance. These properties
make it a good choice for engine and transmission components.
Although magnesium die casting alloys exhibit a number of distinct
mechanical properties; they have two in common, deriving from
their common magnesium base:
The tensile and compressive yield strengths for each alloy are
substantially equal.
All of the alloys exhibit the same modulus of elasticity, shear
modulus, and Poisons' ratio.
