AM100A T6 is a magnesium casting alloy (Mg-Al-rare earth) in the T6 heat-treated condition (solution treated and artificially aged) offering high strength and elevated-temperature capability up to ~150°C, used primarily in aerospace engine components and transmission housings. The T6 temper provides improved yield strength and tensile properties compared to as-cast condition while maintaining castability in investment and permanent mold processes.
