This table contains mechanical property reference data for Magnesium alloys.
This table includes Yield strength, Tensile strength, Elongation, Compressive strength, Brinnel hardness, Shear strength and Fatigue strength information.
(Since magnesium does not have an endurance limt, the fatigue strength shown is for 50e7 cycles of reversed stress. Data is courtesy of American Magnesium Corporation.)
