Throughout our history, Magnesium Elektron has pushed metallurgical boundaries of magnesium alloy technology, taking maximum advantage of magnesium’s unique chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Our products have been used in many legacy and specialized applications:

Corrosion-resistant and ignition-resistant magnesium alloys – Magnesium Elektron has developed newer-generation, high-performance alloys that provide improved corrosion resistance and ignition resistance in demanding environments to which aircraft components are frequently exposed. Our Elektron® 43 alloy offers such excellent resistance to both corrosion and ignition that it passed rigorous testing by the United States Federal Aviation Administration, which led the FAA to certify magnesium alloys for passenger aircraft cabin applications, including seating, in 2013. In fact, the current FAA flammability certification test was developed using Elektron 43 as the standard.
