ZK60A is a magnesium alloy containing zinc and zirconium, heat-treated to the T5 condition (stress-relieved after artificial aging) for use in aerospace forgings and extrusions requiring moderate strength and creep resistance at elevated temperatures. T5 condition provides improved dimensional stability and controlled strength levels suitable for structural applications in aircraft engines and airframes, with yield strength around 25-35 ksi and operating capability to approximately 250°C.
