AZ31B Deformable Magnesium Alloy Ingot Packing

The ingots are packaged in moisture-resistant enclosures with internal cushioning to minimise mechanical shocks and environmental exposure. Anti-corrosive liners are used to prevent oxidation during transit and storage. Strictly controlled temperature and humidity conditions are maintained from packaging to deployment. Customised packaging, including tailored compartmentalisation and labelling, is available to suit specific handling and logistical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is the ingot’s deformability confirmed?
A1: The ingot undergoes mechanical testing, including tensile and compression assessments, paired with spectrographic analysis to confirm its ductility and elemental uniformity, ensuring its suitability for precise forming applications.

Q2: What storage conditions help maintain the ingot’s properties?
A2: Storing the ingots in a dry, temperature-stable environment with controlled humidity is recommended. Anti-corrosive packaging further prevents oxidation and preserves the material’s integrity during long-term storage.

Q3: Can customisation be applied to meet specific industrial needs?
A3: Yes, customisation options including varied dimensions, surface finishes, and specialised packaging are available to align with distinct manufacturing protocols and application-specific requirements.
