    • Magnesium metal products

    Most of the extracted magnesium is used for the production of magnesium structural alloys that are in demand in the aviation, automotive, nuclear, chemical, petroleum refining industries, and in instrument making. Magnesium alloys are lightweight, durable, high specific stiffness, good machinability. They are non-magnetic, they dissipate heat perfectly, they are 20 times more resistant to vibration than alloy steel. Magnesium alloys are used for the manufacture of storage tanks for gasoline and petroleum products, parts of nuclear reactors, jackhammers, pneumatic tubes, cars; tanks and pumps for working with hydrofluoric acid, for storing bromine and iodine; cases of laptops and cameras.

    – Magnesium is widely used to produce some metals by the reduction method (vanadium, zirconium, titanium, beryllium, chromium, etc.); to give steel and cast iron the best mechanical characteristics, to clean aluminum.

    In its pure form is part of many semiconductors.

    – In the chemical industry, powdered magnesium is used to dry organic matter, for example, alcohol, aniline.

    – Pure magnesium and its compounds are used to manufacture powerful chemical current sources.

    – Magnesium oxide is used for the manufacture of crucibles and metallurgical furnaces, refractory bricks, in the manufacture of synthetic rubber.
