Fliegwerkstoff-Handbuch had been edited by the Technical Office of the RLM Fliegwerkstoff Al-Cu-Mg was equivalent to Fliegwerkstoff 3116 .. ; According to German opinion the English alloy Hanco contained 7-8% of zinc and 2 Mg with chromium as stabilizer contains too much zinc and magnesium. The same applies to the American alloy 75 S with 7.5% Zn, 1.5% Mg, 0.5% Mn and 0.5% Cu.Questions submitted to Dr. Siebel (I.G.) ..Hydronalium Alloys ..
