VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "Elektron for Tanks, " which promotes the use of Elektron, a pioneer magnesium alloy, in tank design. The ad emphasizes that this material gives designers more scope due to its extreme lightness, great strength, and excellent fatigue resistance. Key features highlighted in the image include: - No risk of 'Elektron' oil leaks. - Welded construction of diffusion-tight welding and integral tubing ensuring high reliability. - Main suspension fittings showcasing welded joints offering advantages such as simplicity and strength. - Shell reinforcement with illustrations demonstrating how Elektron can be used effectively on tanks' shells. - Fabricated components showing two methods of jointing (screwed or riveted) that are adaptable to Elektron. - Welded attachment incorporating machined flanges and butt-welding to pipes without flanges (i. e. , direct onto plate). - Pipe connections featuring screwed pipe ends into fittings or sleeves using standard pipe joints. The bottom part of the advertisement showcases an example component made from Elektron magnesium alloys with visible bolt holes suggesting where it might be attached to other parts of a tank's structure. Overall, the ad conveys technical details about how using Elektron could improve tank manufacturing through various design advantages like lighter weight without sacrificing structural integrity.
