MG10183 Magnesium Alloy Particle

Magnesium Alloy Particle Description

Magnesium Alloy Particle consists primarily of elemental magnesium with additional alloying components to enhance material performance. Its particulate form facilitates uniform distribution in composite manufacturing and metallurgical applications. The physical properties, such as particle size and morphology, are maintained through controlled atmospheric processing and in-line XRF compositional analysis. These attributes support consistent incorporation into industrial processes and enable predictable mechanical and chemical behaviour in applications requiring lightweight, high-reactivity metals.

Magnesium Alloy Particle Applications

1.       Industrial Processing
   - Used as a reactant in metal matrix composites to achieve improved mechanical properties by leveraging uniform particle size distribution.
   - Applied in the production of aerospace components to reduce weight while maintaining material strength through controlled alloy composition.

2.       Metallurgical Manufacturing
   - Serves as an additive in casting processes to adjust grain structures, enhancing material performance by ensuring even dispersion of alloying elements.
   - Frequently used in powder metallurgy to form components with precise structural properties due to its well-defined particle morphology.

Magnesium Alloy Particle Packing

The product is packaged in anti-corrosive, sealed containers to prevent oxidation and contamination during transportation and storage. Protective inner liners and moisture barriers ensure the particle integrity remains intact. Storage in a cool, low-humidity environment is recommended. Custom packaging options such as bulk bags or smaller vials are available upon request, accommodating diverse logistical requirements and handling preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is the alloy composition verified for consistency?
A1: Composition is verified using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis performed on each production batch. This ensures that the Mg and alloying element ratios remain within the specified range, which is essential for achieving predictable mechanical properties in downstream applications.

Q2: What measures are in place to reduce oxidation during processing?
A2: The production process utilises an inert atmosphere to mitigate oxidation risks. The particles are processed and stored under controlled conditions, significantly reducing the formation of oxide layers, which is critical for applications where surface reactivity must be maintained.

Q3: Can the particle size range be customised for specific applications?
A3: Yes, the particle size distribution can be tailored within certain limits. By adjusting processing parameters and classification techniques, SAM can provide materials optimised for either finer or coarser particle requirements, enhancing compatibility with various manufacturing processes.
