The powder state of elemental magnesium. Mainly produced from electrolytic molten magnesium chloride and electrolytic molten dehydrated carnallite. magnesium powder is soluble in mineral acid, concentrated hydrofluoric acid, ammonium salt and hot water. The ignition point of powder cloud is 600 ° C, and the electrostatic sensitivity is 120mJ. magnesium powder is flammable, explosive, and produces high temperature and dazzling white light when combustion. it is widely used in military industry, aerospace industry and other scientific and technological fields. magnesium powder is used as desulfurizer and purifying agent in steelmaking and non-ferrous metal foundry, and as reducing agent in rare metal production. In the chemical industry, magnesium powder is used more and more in the spraying and anti-corrosion industries, as well as in monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon and metallurgical powder die-casting.
