Magnesium alloys had been widely used in aircrafts up to the 1950s. Due to some major drawbacks such as high corrosion sensitivity and, under extreme conditions, flammability other materials, both metals and plastics, have increasingly replaced magnesium. Airbus is now reappraising the introduction of magnesium alloys in aircraft based on the results of recent research projects. This paper shows the latest results together with some promising applications for different alloys and product forms. Furthermore Airbus is developing and investigating approaches for a lab scale fire testing procedure with the scope to ensure compliance with FAA-regulations on aircraft fire safety.
