Magnesium Alloy Sheet WE43 For Helicopter transmissions / power systems

Magnesium Plate WE43

     WE43 is a wrought magnesium base alloy with good room-temperature strength and ductility combined with corrosion resistance and weldability. Increased strength is obtained by strain hardening with a subsequent partial anneal (H24 and H26 tempers).
