JUNE 1947 FLICHT Advertisements, IT CASTAWAY DEAD WEIGHT Castings usually account tor most of the dead weight in adesign. ELEKTRON Magnesium Alloy castings are 40% to 75% lighter than those in other metals and are finding newapplications every day in post-war products from buses to binoculars, from typewriters to toys. SancL gravity die and pressure die castings can be sup- plied. Apart from their lightness, ELEKTRQN castings possess exceptional machmability, resistance to fatigue and freedom from "pin-holing" and other defects. They are easier to design, too, because cored holes and pockets can be eliminated without appreciable addition to weight. ELEKTRON offers no particular machine shop problems if certain elementary rules are observed. Next time you are thinking in terms of castings, rememberthat F. A. Hughes & Co. Ltd., who have over 20 years' experi- ence in Magnesium Alloys, freely offer you advice both ondesign and production aspects of ELEKTRON. Write to the METALS DEPARTMENT, F. A. Hughes & Co. Ltd., Abbey House, N.W.I MAGNESIUM ALLOYS
