What is ISO 26202 - Magnesium alloys for cast anodes about?
ISO 26202 is a safety standard on magnesium alloys for cast anodes.
ISO 26202 specifies the grades and the corresponding requirements for magnesium alloy ingots for anodes and for magnesium alloy cast anodes.
ISO 26202 lists some international designations of both magnesium alloy ingots for cast anodes and magnesium alloy cast anodes.
Who is ISO 26202 - Magnesium alloys for cast anodes for?
ISO 20064 on magnesium alloys for cast anodes is relevant to:
- Metallurgical engineers
- Testing authorities
- Electrochemical engineers
- Corrosion engineers
- Manufacturers of magnesium alloys and cast anodes
Why should you use ISO 26202 - Magnesium alloys for cast anodes?
Magnesium is the lightest of all the common metals and has been prepared for industry use as metal ingots and alloys since these have the best strength-to-weight ratio of any of the commonly used structural alloys.
ISO 26202 classifies magnesium alloys for cast anodes into several grades suitable for the applications for which they might be used. ISO 26202 describes methods for electrochemical tests with corresponding recommended values. ISO 26202 gives cross-references of grade designations to other standard grades of magnesium alloys for cast anodes.
Overall, ISO 26202 is useful as it assists with magnesium alloys for cast anodes which can help you out in your business.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS ISO 26202:2019 replaces the first edition (ISO 26202:2007), which has been technically revised. The main changes compared with the previous edition are as follows:
- A note has been added in 4.1
- In Clause 5, the compositions in Tables 1 and 2 have been updated
- In Clause 5, EN-MBMgAl6Zn1 has been deleted and the designations “EN-” have been replaced with “ISO-”
- “Sampling” has been included as 6.1
- “Packaging and surface protection” has been added as Clause 8
