PRODUCTION AND FABRICATION OF LA142 PELLETS

Abstract

Pellets of LA142 (Mg-14 Li-2Al) alloy were produced in natural-gas and argon atmospheres. These pellets were extruded and rolled to sheet in the laboratory and the effect of processing variables on strength properties, corrosion resistance, and weldability determined. Pellets atomized in natural gas were also extruded and rolled to 2-in. thick plate on production equipment and ballistically tested. Atomizing atmosphere has little effect on the surface or fabrication characteristics of LA142 pellets.
