1) Area III New light alloy-based materials

Metals Division Skawina)
“Ultralight sections extruded from the new magnesium-lithium
alloys”.
The aim of the project is to explore the possibility of using new super light Mg-Li alloys to shape
products by casting and plastic forming, and to evaluate the possibility of obtaining a high
strength/density ratio. Elements of machines and equipment are produced mostly by casting,
forging and extrusion, and less often by rolling and drawing. An additional goal will be to
examine structural changes occurring in the processed material during plastic forming and
mechanical properties of the ready products. Efforts will also be taken to examine the corrosion
behaviour of alloys of this type. The obtained information of cognitive, technological and
technical character can be used in the development of a manufacturing technology of new
products used in the ground and air transport, and in precision industry.
