MG10214 AZ91D Deformable Magnesium Alloy Plate/Sheet

AZ91D Deformable Magnesium Alloy Plate/Sheet Description

AZ91D Deformable Magnesium Alloy Plate/Sheet is produced from a magnesium alloy principally comprised of magnesium with additional alloying elements that facilitate improved formability. The material’s composition is optimised to allow consistent deformation under standard forming conditions. Its uniform thickness and controlled microstructure support predictable mechanical behaviour, which is essential in processes that require precise bending and shaping of components for industrial and automotive applications.

AZ91D Deformable Magnesium Alloy Plate/Sheet Applications

Automotive
- Used as a body panel component in automotive fabrication to achieve weight reduction by leveraging the plate’s deformability properties.
- Applied as chassis segments in vehicle construction to enhance formability by utilising uniform stress distribution.

Industrial
- Used as a structural element in industrial machinery to achieve complex shapes by leveraging the alloy's predictable ductility.
- Applied as a component in equipment housings to alleviate fabrication stresses through its even material composition.

AZ91D Deformable Magnesium Alloy Plate/Sheet Packing

The plate/sheet is secured in moisture-resistant, anti-static wrapping and positioned within foam-lined containers to mitigate mechanical damage. The packaging design minimises contamination risks and facilitates secure transport. Recommended storage in a dry, temperature-controlled area helps maintain material properties. Customers can request customised dimensions or additional protective layering options based on handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the deformability of the AZ91D plate affect its fabrication process?
A1: The material’s ability to undergo controlled deformation reduces forming forces and supports uniform bending, which is advantageous in automated manufacturing and minimises material waste during complex shaping operations.

Q2: What quality control processes are in place for this alloy?
A2: The alloy is subjected to sequential tensile and bend tests along with microstructural imaging. These measures help verify consistency in composition and ductility, ensuring each batch conforms to defined mechanical performance criteria.

Q3: Is customisation available for thickness or alloy composition?
A3: Yes, adjustments in thickness or minor variations in alloy composition can be arranged to meet specific application requirements. Detailed specifications and test reports are provided for each customised order.
