Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What processing methods are recommended to maintain the alloy’s microstructure?
A1: It is advisable to employ controlled deformation techniques and avoid thermal excursions above the alloy’s recommended processing temperature. This approach preserves the microstructural integrity and prevents unexpected phase changes.

Q2: How are dimensional tolerances maintained during manufacturing?
A2: Dimensional accuracy is ensured using calibrated micrometers and coordinate measuring systems during production. These measurements verify that all bars/rods adhere closely to specified tolerances.

Q3: What storage conditions optimise the alloy's properties?
A3: The alloy should be stored in a low-humidity, temperature-controlled environment (below 30°C) to minimise oxidation. The use of corrosion inhibitors in packaging further preserves the material’s integrity over extended periods.
