The Development of Magnesium-Lithium Alloys for Structural Applications

Abstract

The research described in this report continued the investigation of magnesium- lithium alloys conducted during 1957-1959 for the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. The final report of the earlier research received wide distribution and stimulated the present interest in the use of magnesium-lithium alloys for missile and space hardware components. The present contract was initiated in June, 1962, and terminated in January, 1963.
