Elektron® 675 Magnesium

Elektron® 675 magnesium alloy offers excellent high-temperature performance.

Elektron® 675 offers exceptionally high mechanical properties from room temperature to 250°C.

Capabilities:

Used effectively in temperatures up to 250°C, Elektron® 675 is a lightweight, flame-proof material with superior overall corrosion resistance and good machinability compared to aluminium. The product is an extrusion alloy supplied in the T5 temper heat-treated condition and used in various motorsport applications - further optimisation of the material results in greater strength and density.

Lightweight:

Whilst lithium is the lightest metallic element, magnesium is the lightest engineering material commonly available. Offering similar properties to aluminium, magnesium provides an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio with good strength and corrosion resistance. Elektron® 675 serves as a good example of a high-performance magnesium alloy and offers numerous advantages in motorsport engineering.

In motorsport:

Elektron® 675 magnesium alloy utilises its performance capabilities for motorsport engineering applications, including engine casings, gearboxes, chassis components, racing wheels and hydraulics. The alloy is also at the forefront of weight-reduction design in motorsport.
