Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers at a reasonable price from the manufacturer a circle, bar, bushing and casting from the alloy WE54. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.

Technical specifications

Foundry magnesium alloy WЕ54 Magnesium Elektron belongs to the group of temperature resistant high-strength alloys. It can be used both at room temperature and at temperatures up to 300 ° C. Due to the increased content of yttrium and alloying with neodymium, the alloy has good mechanical properties combined with excellent corrosion resistance. The alloy may contain a small amount of other rare earth metals.

Urgency of application

The WE54 grade alloy is an excellent engineering solution in applications where weight loss is required without compromising product performance. Typical parts that are made from this alloy are helicopter rotor head gears, engine power systems, critical sports equipment items, missile system components. This alloy also produces power transmissions, aircraft engine cases, gear boxes for racing cars and other high-tech products.

Chemical composition

Alloy WE54 contains:

Magnesium is the basis;

Yttrium — 4.75… 5.5%;

Neodymium — 1.5… 2.0%;

Zirconium — up to 0,4%;

Other rare earth elements are 1… 2%.

Physical and mechanical properties

• density, kg / m ³ — 1800;
• melting point, ⁰ С — 545… 640;
• coefficient of thermal expansion in the temperature range 20… 100 ⁰ С, m / deg — 24,6;
• coefficient of thermal conductivity in the temperature range 20… 100 ⁰ С, W / mgrad — 52;
• limit of temporary resistance, MPa — 280;
• permissible tensile elongation,% — 2;
• Poisson’s ratio is 0.30;
• hardness in Vickers, HV, not more than 80… 90 (depending on the weight of the casting).

Assortment and application features

Magnesium casting alloy of the brand WЕ54 is available in the form of blanks of constant cross-section — rods, a circle, and in the form of semifinished items of foundry manufacture — bushings and other castings of an axisymmetric shape. Welding of the WE54 alloy is possible in an inert gas environment using tungsten non-consumable electrodes. After welding, the product is recommended to be heat treated.

The alloy is well machinable with the use of strong tool steels and at higher feed rates of the billet.

Supplier — AvekGlob company — offers to buy a circle, bar, bushing and casting, which are made of magnesium alloy of the brand WЕ54. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards of production. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
