Shad, That is very interesting information on that web site about the proportion of magnesium used. However, if for AS21 cases, the percentage content of aluminium+magnesium+silicon=6.8%, what then makes up the other 93.2%? I do not understand. The same question arises for the AS41A proportions. Any idea how much magnesium, if at all, is used in the Type4 cases? Regards, Simon Glen Toowoomba, Australia.
