4 JANUARY 1952 FLIGHT 5 # Most of the major castings of the Rolls-Royce "Nene" are in Elektron Magnesium-Zirconium alloy—the most highly developed constructional metal for aircraft. Conspicuous for their services in the aircraft turbine engine field are Elektron ZREI, with its outstanding creep resistance at 200°C, and Elektron Z5Z, with the highest strengthjweight ratio of any cast material. These alloys are the backbone of the jet engine, and to their excellence sixty castings in the "Nene" bear witness. Illustration by courtesy of Rolls-Royce Limited. HAGNBS 'UM'ZIR C°HIUM ALLOYS .J
