1900Motor-Car World I. 90/1 Magnalium is a new alloy of aluminium with from ten to thirty per cent. of its weight of magnesium. 1910Encycl. Brit. I. 708/2 This alloy, under the name of magnalium, is coming into use for small articles in which lightness and rigidity have to be combined. 1948J. J. Stevens tr. A. von Zeerleder's Technol. Aluminium ii. 20 The binary aluminium-magnesium alloys, which were developed in 1899 by Mach under the name ‘Magnalium’, exhibit rising mechanical properties with rising magnesium content... After 1910 these alloys fell out of favour owing to low corrosion resistance. |
