Magnesium powder is mainly prepared from electrolytic molten Magnesium chloride and electrolytic molten dehydrated carnallite, and is mainly used as reducing agent, flash powder, organic synthesis, illuminant, metallurgical desulfurization, etc. The main use of magnesium powder should still be for steelmaking desulfurization, with over 80% of the demand for magnesium powder almost coming from steelmaking desulfurization. Therefore, the quality of the steel industry has a certain impact on the price of magnesium powder.
The magnesium powder can be mainly divided into Magnesium carbonate and atomized spherical magnesium powder. Magnesium carbonate is mainly used in some sports such as weightlifting and gymnastics. Athletes can use Magnesium carbonate on their bodies or feet to prevent slipping and increase friction. Atomized spherical magnesium powder refers to a spherical atomized powder produced by centrifugal atomization technology under inert gas protection after high-temperature melting of magnesium ingots. It has the advantages of high active magnesium content, good sphericity, large bulk density, good fluidity, small specific surface area, etc. It can be widely used in many high-tech research fields such as Arms industry, petrochemical industry, aerospace, new functional materials, medicine, fireworks, food, etc. It has incomparable advantages over traditional mechanical milling method of magnesium powder.
