The AZ 855 magnesium-aluminum alloy has been specially developed for the
East German shipbuilding industry. It is produced in two different,
compositions as.followsa
7% aluminum, 1% zino,.. % manganese
7.5% alumina,, 1.5% zin-j,,1% manganese
C. Neither type when heated to the melting point shows a tendency to separate.
Tensile strengths area
Longitudinal o 30 kg/m:'2 (101. elongation)
Transverses 2b kg/'"mitP, (5% expansion)
Be Production began in January when 7300 kg were produced. Most of this
was used for various tests in the works itself. A similar amount was
produoed in February, of whioh half was sent to the Merseburg rolling
mill to enable its rolling qualities to be tested.
8e The average monthly output of all types of light metal, alloys during the
seoond half of 1982 was 2,1,00 tons.
