1.8.5 Mechanical properties<br />
*The table gives typical and minimum mechanical properties for two alloys in production in<br />
Alcao's plant in Soest, Germany.<br />
AlMg3Mn is a non-heat treatable alloy with ca. 3.5 % Magnesium and 1.3 % Manganese. This<br />
alloy is based on solid-solution strengthening, hence no heat treatment required.<br />
AlSi9Mg is a heat treatable alloy with ca. 10 % Silicon and 0.2 % Magnesium. This alloy is<br />
precipitate-hardened (Mg2Si) and requires a heat treatment of solid solution, subsequent<br />
quenching and ageing.<br />
Both alloys are low on Iron and Copper.<br />
