Magnesium Battery Sheet

Magnesium Elektron utilise the excellent electrochemical properties of magnesium alloys to produce magnesium battery sheet and a very special modular high performance anode.


Magnesium Battery Sheet

Magnesium has a greater driving potential than either zinc or aluminium, making it the most widely used and economical sacrificial anode material for non marine applications and for areas where resistivity is high. Magnesium Elektron produce a range of magnesium alloys to meet all seawater battery applications. These include the traditional commercial materials AZ31 and AZ61, or AZM, as well as the high power speciality magnesium alloys developed by Magnesium Elektron such as MELMAG®AP65, MELMAG®75 and MELMAG®AT61.


AZ31 and AZ61 are the industry standard alloys which are more economical to produce and offer good all round properties. MELMAG®AP65, 75, and AT61 are high performance alloys which are more electrochemically reactive and generate much higher cell voltages. This results in rapid activation and short voltage transience on switching between loads, making them more suitable for the high demands required for military applications. The chemical and metallurgical conditions of all these alloys are carefully controlled to provide optimum properties.
