  • Zinc-based alloys with improved ductility
    Patent number: 4609529
    Abstract: The ductility and/or tensile strength of certain zinc-based alloys (25 to 40 wt. % aluminum, 0.5 to 5 wt. % copper, and up to 0.1 wt. % magnesium) are improved when various elements are added. A first series of improved alloys is comprised of boron (between 5 ppm and 0.1 wt. %), possibly along with titanium (25 ppm to 0.5 wt. %), or possibly along with zirconium and/or strontium (up to 0.1 wt. %), and titanium (up to 0.1 wt. %). A second series of improved alloys is comprised of rare earths, principally lanthanum and/or cerium, in a total amount between 5 ppm and 0.1 wt. %.
