Magnesium Chips / Magnesium Turnings / Magnesium Rasping
Magnesium chips, also known as magnesium turnings, are a form of elemental magnesium metal produced by mechanically processing standard-purity (99.8% Mg) or ultra-high-purity (99.98% Mg) magnesium ingots. The process can be adjusted to produce magnesium chips and granules that meet different shape, size, and surface area requirements
Properties
Purity: Available in standard purity (99.8% Mg) and ultra-high purity (99.98% Mg).
Size: The size of magnesium chips can vary. For example, high-purity magnesium chips can be 0.5-3.5 mm in size. Some chips are available in specific mesh sizes, such as 6-35 mesh.
Chemical Composition (%)
| Product | Grade | Shape | Composition (%) | AD (g/cm3) | Particle Size |
| Milling Magnesium Scrap | EM-1 | Chips | ≥ 99.7% | – | 2mm*3mm/th.0.5mm |
| EM-2 | Chips | ≥ 99.7% | – | 3mm*5mm/th.0.5mm | |
| EM-3 | Chips | ≥ 99.7% | – | 2mm*2mm/th.0.5mm | |
| EM-4 | Chips | ≥ 99.7% | – | 3mm*7mm/th.0.5mm | |
| It can be customized according to customer’s specific demands. | |||||
Applications
Chemical Reactions: Magnesium turnings are commonly used as a reductant in Grignard reactions for specialty chemical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural applications.
Alloy Preparation: They are also used in the preparation of magnesium alloys, which offer a unique combination of light weight, strength, and corrosion resistance.
Pyrotechnics: Magnesium turnings can be used in pyrotechnics, firework sparklers, flares, and flash photography due to their ability to emit a bright white light when burned.
Metal Matrix Composites: Magnesium turnings are used in the machining of magnesium-based metal matrix composites, which are used in aerospace and automotive industries
