Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers a magnesium alloy in the form of extruded bars, rods, wire, tubing, and profiles up to 40 in2 (258 cm2) in cross-sectional area (solids) and up to 8.5 inches (216 mm) OD by 1.188 inches (30.18 mm) wall thickness (tubing) (see 8.4).
Application
These extrusions have been used typically for parts requiring toughness and moderate abrasion resistance, but usage is not limited to such applications.
