  1. Although magnesium is found in over 60 minerals, only Dolomite, Magnesite, Brucite, Carnalite, Talc and Olivine are of commercial importance.<\/li>
  2. The chief use for the metal is as an alloying agent to make aluminium-magnesium alloys. This alloy is prized for its properties of lightness combined with strength.<\/li>
  3. Magnesium compounds are used medicinally as common laxatives, antacids (e.g. milk of magnesia), and to stabilize abnormal nerve excitation or blood vessel spasm such as eclampsia.<\/li>
  4. Magnesium has both the lowest melting and the lowest boiling points of any of the alkali earth metals.<\/li>
  5. It is highly flammable when powdered or shaved into Tin strips but difficult to ignite in mass or bulk.<\/li>
  6. Once ignited, it is difficult to extinguish \u2013 Incendiary Weapon.<\/li>
  7. Ignition source for Thermite, a mixture of aluminium and iron oxide that is difficult to ignite.<\/li>
  8. Magnesium is the third most commonly used structural metal, following iron and aluminium. It has been called the lightest useful metal.<\/li>
  9. The main application of magnesium ore, in order:<\/li>
  10. Component of Aluminium alloys.<\/li>
  11. In die-casting (alloyed with zinc).<\/li>
  12. To remove sulfur in the production of iron and steel.<\/li>
  13. The production of Titanium in the Kroll Process.<\/li>
  14. Because of low weight and good mechanical and electrical properties, magnesium is widely used for manufacturing of mobile phones and other.<\/li>
  15. Other used include flash photography, flares, pyrotechnics and fireworks sparklers.<\/li>
  16. Used as a sacrificial (galvanic anode) to protect underground tanks, pipelines and other.<\/li>
  17. With Zinc, used in dry-cell battery walls, and roofing.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-933","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/godshipchurch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/godshipchurch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/godshipchurch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godshipchurch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godshipchurch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=933"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/godshipchurch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/933\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1615,"href":"https:\/\/godshipchurch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/933\/revisions\/1615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/godshipchurch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
