AZ61A magnesium is a wrought alloy containing aluminum and zinc for improved strength and creep resistance, suitable for aerospace forgings and extruded components requiring moderate strength at elevated temperatures. The F (as-fabricated) temper provides baseline mechanical properties without heat treatment, offering yield strengths around 160 MPa with good formability for complex geometries in aircraft engine mounts and structural applications.
