Quality Control

Our Magnesium-Nickel alloy is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Quality is verified through analysis of key parameters including composition, particle size distribution (where applicable), and phase purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific lot results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), this material must be stored under an inert gas (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
