How would one go about distingushing between magnesium alloys and aluminum alloys (physical characteristics)?
How can one distinguish between magnesium and aluminum alloys physically?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
To distinguish between magnesium alloys and aluminum alloys, one can utilize chemical analysis techniques such as X-ray or emission spectroscopy to determine the precise alloy composition. Physical characteristics to consider include yield strength, ultimate strength, strength-to-weight ratio, elongation, thermal conductivity, corrosion behavior, and toughness. These factors are critical in identifying the specific alloy type and its suitability for various applications.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of X-ray spectroscopy and emission spectroscopy
