We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Magnesium Alloy",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Tooling update raised machined track parts output from
TaeguTec UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "In the CNC machining railroad switch components a tool allowed the drilling of holes to size without additional finishing operations, while a ripper cutter improved surface finishes".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Fine structured Mg alloy parts diecast from
Frech: "Latest diecasting machines are able to produce a thin-walled, yet warp resistant magnesium alloy diecasting with a very high surface quality".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Exel Computer Systems
concerning its Efacs E/8 mobile interface
- take a look at Mobile ERP both inside and outside the factory.
which says: "Efacs E/8 thin client and the Panasonic toughbook CF-08 are a tough team to beat".
Take a look also at the news release from Kontron UK, Next generation of rugged mobile computing,
as well as Dedicated coolant keeps magnesium cutting clean from Master Chemical Europe,
and Coolant dedicated to magnesium alloy cutting from Master Chemical Europe.
