MG10206 AZ61M Deformable Magnesium Alloy Plate/Sheet

AZ61M Deformable Magnesium Alloy Plate/Sheet Description

The AZ61M Deformable Magnesium Alloy Plate/Sheet primarily consists of magnesium with additional alloying elements that adjust its mechanical behaviour. Its controlled deformability facilitates precise forming processes in industrial manufacturing. The material’s uniform thickness and defined grain structure help achieve targeted tolerances and manage directional strength requirements. The measured microstructural integrity minimises localised strain during deformation, rendering it a suitable choice for applications that demand regulated plastic deformation.
