Many uses of aluminum led the researchers to develop this field by changing the target bullion to obtain alloys suitable for all specialties and possibilities. Adding some metals to aluminum leads to a change in properties, whether mechanical or physical, but in our research we target the mechanical properties, adding magnesium and zinc are in equal proportions (5%Mg-5%Zn, 10%Mg-10Zn). We offer this alloy to some tests such as hardness test, electrical conductivity test, compression test and Microstructure examination test. We compare the properties obtained with each other and with the basic properties of pure basic metal according to international standards.
