Magnesium sputtering target（Mg）产品概况

Magnesium belongs to the group IIA alkaline earth metal element on the periodic table, with a relative atomic mass of 24.305. It has a silver white luster and slight ductility. Magnesium has a low density and a strong ionization tendency.

In air, a thin oxide film forms on the surface of magnesium, making it difficult for air to react with it. Magnesium reacts with alcohol, acid, and hot water to produce hydrogen gas. Powdered or banded magnesium emits a strong white light when burned in air. When heated at high temperature in nitrogen, magnesium will generate magnesium nitride; Magnesium can also react strongly with halogen; Magnesium can also be directly combined with vulcanization. The detection of magnesium can be analyzed using EDTA titration. The ignition point is about 733.15 degrees Kelvin.

Magnesium is the third most widely used structural material after iron and aluminum. The main uses of magnesium are: manufacturing aluminum alloys, die casting (forming alloys with zinc), desulfurization treatment in steel production, and preparation of titanium by the Kroll process.
Magnesium can be used in the thermal reduction of molten salt metals to produce rare metals.
Because magnesium is lighter than aluminum, magnesium aluminum alloys containing 5% to 30% magnesium are lightweight and have good mechanical properties, and are widely used in aviation and aerospace. For example, at the end of 2015, the Research Institute of the Engineering Department of the University of California, Los Angeles, announced the latest scientific research results: using about 86% magnesium and about 14% nanomicron grade silicon carbide to produce new lightweight and hard metal nanocomposites, which will be applied in aviation, aerospace, and electronic handheld tablets in the future.
In addition, magnesium can be used as a reducing agent for many pure metals due to its easy oxidation property. It can also be used for flashlights, inhalers, fireworks, flares, etc.
Adding a small amount of magnesium to molten pig iron and cooling it to obtain ductile iron, which is stronger and more wear-resistant than ordinary iron.
