Lithium's affect on Alu alloys?

Nov 25, 2004 2 Replies

How does Lithium content alter aluminium alloys? I'm making some motocross top yokes and am unsure as to what material to use?



I've got some 7050 which I thought would be fine for the job, but having a root round have come across some different spec material which is "slightly higher in lithium content" (not my words, and am trying to discover an exact %) but wondered what properties the lithium would give
