Effect of Aging Aircraft Structure on Magnesium Parts

Abstract

Procedure for artificially aging assemblies and subassemblies to improve strength properties of wrought aluminum alloys in aircraft structures was developed. Aging treatment of ten hours at 375 deg F is applied to magnesium alloys. Magnesium alloys may be encountered in casting, extrusion, forging, and sheet forms. Alloys commonly used in aircraft structures in various forms and effect of aging treatment are discussed.
