Answer: Magnesium alloy printing can be done using cold inlay or QMAXIS metallographic inlay machine. During the hot pressing inlay process, attention should be paid to the selection of inlay powder and parameters: the temperature should be selected below the recrystallization temperature, with a reference temperature of 120 ℃ to 150 ℃ (some customers use 135 ℃ inlay and two spoons of inlay powder). The pressure is 4 bar.

    If the temperature is too high, some aging treatment effects may occur. For the solution treated magnesium alloy, fine and dispersed second phase will precipitate in the Solid solution, and for the deformed magnesium alloy, recrystallization and other problems may occur.

    Excessive pressure selection may cause deformation twinning in the deformed magnesium alloy, which may interfere with subsequent observation and analysis.

    It is recommended to use the Metlab QMAXIS metallographic inlay machine, which has a visual screen. The heating temperature and the pressure inside the inlay chamber can be observed in real time, as well as the cooling temperature and pressure during the cooling process. This facilitates the adjustment and correct selection of subsequent parameters and assists in the subsequent sample preparation process.
