Binary Eutectic Magnesium Alloys
The melting point of a binary alloy depends on the proportions of its constituent metals. A eutectic mixture is the specific composition where the alloy's melting point is at its minimum possible value.
The following table lists the compositions and melting points of key binary eutectic magnesium (Mg) alloys.
Alloy Component | Weight of Alloy Component(%) | Melting Point(°C) | Melting Point(°F) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ni - Nickel | 23 | 780 | 945 |
| Pr - Praseodymium | 23 | 858 | 1085 |
| Pu - Plutonium | 63 | 815 | 1008 |
| Sb - Antimony (Stibium) | 97 | 855 | 1080 |
| Si - Silicon | 57 | 1223 | 1742 |
| Sr - Strontium | 89 | 699 | 799 |
