Re: [T3] AS21 vs. AS41 magnesium alloys


Shad,

Sorry, my last E-mail shows that I mis-read the position of some of the decimal
points.  However, I am still confused because, on the basis of the figures
quoted on that site, there is more magnesium in an AS21 case than in an AS41
case.  I thought it was the bother way around????

Regards,
