Nickel Magnesium Alloy (17%) — NiMg |
|||||
Nickel magnesium alloy is an alloy of nickel and magnesium containing silicon used primarily for introducing magnesium into iron. The introduction of magnesium promotes the formation of spheroidal graphite and improves the tensile strength, ductility, fatigue resistance and toughness of the iron. The silicon prevents carbon from reacting with iron. | |||||
