ISO-WD32350-O Magnesium
ISO-WD32350-O is ISO-WD32350 magnesium in the annealed condition. It has the lowest strength compared to the other variants of ISO-WD32350 magnesium. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare ISO-WD32350-O to other magnesium alloys (top) and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
