The influence of microstructure on the shock and spall behaviour of the magnesium alloy, Elektron 675

Alloying elements such as aluminium, zinc and rare earth metals allow precipitation hardening of magnesium (Mg). The low densities of such strengthened Mg alloys have led to their adoption as aerospace materials and (more recently) they are being considered as armour materials. Consequently, underst...
