Metallurgical Product Description

Pure magnesium powder is a fine powder made of high-purity metallic magnesium. The powder is manufactured using a process that ensures high purity and uniform particle size distribution.

Magnesium powder usually refers to the powder state of simple magnesium. It looks like a silver-white powder with metallic luster. It is an active metal and is flammable when exposed to moisture. It produces intense white light and emits high heat when burned. When it reacts with water or moisture, it releases hydrogen gas and releases a lot of heat, causing combustion or explosion. It will react violently with chlorine, bromine, iodine, sulfur, phosphorus, arsenic, and oxidants, causing the risk of burning and explosion.

Magnesium powder is mainly used as a reducing agent to produce flash powder and lead alloys, and as a desulfurizer in metallurgy (when used as a raw material for desulfurizers in the metallurgical industry, the outside of the magnesium powder particles is wrapped with a layer of passivating agent to prevent the oxidation of the magnesium powder), In addition, it is used in organic synthesis, lighting agents, etc. It is mainly produced by electrolysis of molten magnesium chloride and electrolysis of molten dehydrated carnallite.

Product Parameters

Package:

Pure-grade magnesium powder is usually packaged in airtight containers such as buckets or bags to protect it from moisture and air exposure.

notes:

Because the powder is reactive, it is important to handle it with care and follow all safety precautions when using the powder. Magnesium metal powder should be carefully packaged and stored to ensure safety and prevent accidental fire.

Product Advantages

The powder form of elemental magnesium.

Magnesium powder is soluble in mineral acids, concentrated hydrofluoric acid, ammonium salts, and hot water. The powder cloud ignition point is 600℃ and the electrostatic sensitivity is 120mJ.

It is mainly produced by electrolysis of molten magnesium chloride and electrolysis of molten dehydrated carnallite.

Application

Used in rocket ramjet engines and to remove hydrogen chloride from propellant gas. It is used as a reducing agent to make flash powder and lead alloys, as a desulfurizer in metallurgy, in addition to being used in organic synthesis, lighting agents, etc.

Ignition point: about 500 degrees

Magnesium powder, like aluminum powder, will spontaneously ignite and explode when exposed to moisture. When there is 10-25 mg of magnesium powder per liter of air, it will explode when exposed to fire.

Manufacture And Use

Because magnesium powder emits intense light when it burns, early camera flashes used the light emitted by burning magnesium powder. Early flash lamps were also called magnesium lamps (this name can still be seen in some places today). The disadvantage of ordinary magnesium lamps is that they can only be used once. Has been replaced by electronic flash. Both optical and digital cameras use electronic flash. Also used in fireworks, welding rods, and steel desulfurization.

Magnesium powder is widely used in aviation, aerospace, armaments, automobiles, petroleum, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, smelting and other industries.

Magnesium powder is flammable and explosive and produces high temperatures and dazzling white light when burned. Therefore, magnesium powder is widely used in scientific and technological fields such as the military industry and aerospace industry. In the steelmaking industry and non-ferrous metal casting, magnesium powder is used as a desulfurizer and purifier, and as a reducing agent in the production of rare metals. In the chemical industry, magnesium powder can be increasingly used in spraying, coating, and anti-corrosion industries. It is also used in large amounts in monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and metallurgical powder die-casting.

Applications

Pure magnesium powder is used in a wide range of applications, including metal casting, pyrotechnics, welding, and powder metallurgy. It is also used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis and an alloying agent in magnesium alloy production. The powder’s high purity makes it suitable for use in industries with stringent purity requirements, such as the aerospace and electronics industries. It is also used to produce efficient, environmentally friendly magnesium-based batteries.
