Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the alloy's composition affect its deformability?
A1: The alloy is primarily composed of magnesium with carefully selected trace elements that promote a uniform microstructure. This controlled composition minimises anisotropy during forming processes, resulting in improved ductility and consistent deformation behaviour.

Q2: What quality control measures are implemented during production?
A2: SAM employs scanning electron microscopy and microstructural analysis at key production stages to verify grain size and distribution. These calibrated assessments help identify inclusions and ensure that the alloy maintains the expected mechanical properties throughout processing.

Q3: What considerations should be taken into account for storage?
A3: The material should be stored in an environment with controlled temperature and low humidity to prevent oxidation and corrosion. Protective packaging is essential to minimise contamination, and clear storage guidelines ensure the alloy retains its deformability over time.
