The properties of of this alloy mean it is well suited for use as feedstock material used to machine high performance components, especially those associated with elevated temperature performance.<\/p>\n

Designs in Elektron 43 can be 20% to 30% lighter than a corresponding aluminium design. This alloy is available as rolled plate, forging feedstock and extruded bar, section and profile. Elektron 43 is an optimised wrought evolution of the original casting alloy, Elektron WE43.<\/p>\n

Elektron 43 has undergone extensive flammability testing by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA have shown that the use of Elektron 43 in aircraft seat frames does not reduce the level of safety of the aircraft when compared to heavier aluminium seat components.<\/p>\n<\/div>
