Electrical Conductivity Values for Magnesium Alloys?? 1

[WKTaylor]

Folks... Help!!!

I need electrical conductivity values for all [majority of "classic"] magnesium alloys [wrought and cast]. Also, If possible, I need associated hardness values. The data I need is similar in scope to MIL-STD-1537C [hardness and conductivity tabulated data for various aluminum alloys].

Where in Gods' name are these data posted? Right now, any authoritative source will do.

Note: I have found some conductivity values [limited to a few casting alloys] in MIL-HDBK-693A... but not enough data for my needs.

These data are available in the ASM Handbook Volume 2 Properties and Selection: Nonferrous Alloys and Special-Purpose Materials in the chapter Properties of Magnesium Alloys.

Here are some selected data:

AZ31B: 18.5 % IACS (condition unspecified), 46 HB to 73 HB (as-extruded to hard rolled)

AZ80: 10.6 % IACS in extruded condition, 67 HB as-extruded

ZK60: F temper 29 % IACS and 75 HB, T5 temper 30 % IACS and 82 HB

AZ91C & E: F temper 11.5 % IACS and 60 HB, T6 temper 11.2% IACS and 70 HB

The International Magnesium Association has 2 small tables with electrical conductivities at

http://www.intlmag.org/phys12.aspx

and

About the same data as given above, also graph with conductivity vs. T:
