aluminum magnesium powder is an industrial product that is used in the manufacturing of magnesium-aluminum alloys for a variety of applications. These alloys provide specific benefits such as high strength, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Magnesium-aluminum alloys are produced in the form of bars, forgings, castings and plates, welding wires and extrusions. American Elements produces both wrought and cast magnesium aluminum alloys in various compositions for the aerospace, defense, automotive, metallurgical, and manufacturing industries. The most popular wrought magnesium aluminum alloys are AZ31, AZ61, AZ80, AZ91E and AZ92A.
A stoichiometric mixture of three parts KNO3 to two parts Mg is commonly used in amateur pyrotechnics for the rapid combustion of magnesium. This mixture is a combustible metal and must be handled with care, as it can cause burns if it comes into contact with skin.
The preparation of metallic-reinforced composites is a promising approach to increase the efficiency and reliability of magnesium production. This can be achieved by combining the benefits of mechanical alloying with the advantages of advanced particle characterization techniques.
In the study of Tun and Gupta (2007), a PM method was used to produce three Mg/HA nanocomposites with 8, 10 and 15 wt.% HA by using a combination of pure Mg powders and yttria nano-powders with different mean size (32, 50 and 30 nm). The samples were green compacted after 20 h of milling, consolidated into full-dense buttons by spark plasma sintering and subjected to abrasion testing and microstructural analysis.
