Magnesium Pellets are compact, small cylindrical or round shapes of magnesium metal, designed to provide a controlled amount of magnesium in various applications. These pellets are commonly used in metallurgical, chemical, and industrial processes due to their uniform size and shape, offering convenient handling and consistent reaction rates.
Formula: Mg
Atomic Number: 12
Appearance: Magnesium pellets are metallic, with a shiny silver-gray color.
Size and Shape: Typically formed into small, uniform cylinders or spheres, which are easier to handle and measure compared to irregular granules or powder.
Density: Approximately 1.74 g/cm³, making magnesium one of the lightest metals.
Melting Point: Around 650°C (1,202°F), allowing for controlled melting in metallurgical processes.
Metallurgy: Magnesium pellets are often added to molten iron or steel to remove sulfur and other impurities, enhancing the quality of the final alloy.
Alloying Agent: Used in the production of lightweight aluminum-magnesium alloys, which are essential in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Chemical Reactions: In laboratory and industrial settings, magnesium pellets serve as a convenient form of magnesium for various reactions, including those that generate hydrogen.
Cathodic Protection: Magnesium pellets can act as a sacrificial anode in corrosion protection systems, particularly in water heaters and pipelines.
Flammable: Magnesium pellets are flammable, especially at high temperatures. Keep them away from flames and sources of heat.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and airtight container to avoid oxidation and moisture exposure.
Handling Precautions: Use gloves to avoid direct skin contact, as oils and moisture can promote oxidation. In industrial settings, use safety equipment to handle larger quantities safely.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
