Magnesium - standard profiles?
Magnesium - standard profiles?
(OP)
As a designer I am often asked to conceptualize items, depending on the product and method of manufacture I consider what material is available. For steel and Aluminum I use the typical "books" from suppliers (realizing that all sizes listed are not always whats available). I am presently looking at a vib fixture that typically has been made out of magnesium in the past. This time it begs to be made as a weldment. I want to take into consideration "std" plate, tube, bar sizes.
Can someone point me to a 'stock' list or a supplier that may be helpful
Thank you..
