Magnesium granules 99.99%, 1 g

Magnesium (Mg), Latin and English Magnesium, is a silvery-white metallic element with a low density, making it a light metal. The melting point of magnesium is 650 °C and the boiling point is 1091 °C. Magnesium is a metal with average hardness and low weight. It has lower conductivity of electric current and heat.

Magnesium granules for sale: we supply packaging with a purity of 99.99% in multiples of 1 g.

Magnesium is commonly found in nature, in rocks, minerals, oceans, and plants; it is part of chlorophyll. It is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust; humans and animals also have it in their bodies.

Tip: Also available is magnesium ribbon and fine magnesium powder.

Magnesium is used in many different applications, including the production of aluminum alloys for the aerospace industry, magnesium castings, burners in refractory materials, for the production of pyrotechnic mixtures, as a reducing agent in metallurgy and pharmaceutical production.

It is important for health, helping to regulate the muscular and nervous systems, metabolism, and bone structure. Magnesium deficiency can cause fatigue, muscle pain, and cramps. However, the magnesium you can purchase from us is intended for technical purposes.

Magnesium was discovered in 1755 by Joseph Black, who isolated it from bitter salts.

Magnesium has several properties that make it interesting for experiments. It is reactive and flammable. In powder form, it can be used to create special effects, but beware, the combustion is so rapid that it can turn into an explosion.

Magnesium alloys, known as duralumin, are commonly used in industries such as aerospace and automotive due to their high mechanical strength, low density, and corrosion resistance. Duralumin alloys are typically combined with aluminum, copper, and manganese.

There is also an alloy called electron, which has an even lower density than duralumin. It contains at least 90% magnesium, as does the magnalium alloy, which contains 10–30% magnesium and 70–90% aluminum.

Magnesium is paramagnetic, being slightly attracted to magnets.
