What is liquid magnesium?

Magnesium? Sounds like a made-up element from a sci-fi movie. But it’s real and we can find it in many places – in our bones, the soil, and even in the stars. Let’s learn more about this genuinely existing mini-superhero.

Magnesium: The Wonder Metal

Magnesium (Mg) is widely known as one of the most useful metals out there. Ever had to deal with an old bicycle or car engine? Chances are that some magnesium parts were involved.

But wait, isn’t magnesium flammable? Absolutely! And it burns so brightly that welders use forms of burning magnesium like flash powder for their work.

So what else does liquid magnesium have up its sleeve?

Is Liquid Magnesium Real?

Yes, liquid magnesium is 100% authentic. However, unlike other commonly used liquids such as water or oil, we do not see it every day because you need specific conditions for Mg to be able to exist in a liquid form.

For starters- hold on! Before I go into detail on how and where you’ll find molten Mg– let me break down why people care about finding the element while melted:

  • Boiling point: 6 times higher than water at an astounding 1107 °C
  • Density: almost half gram per cubic centimeter less dense than aluminum.
  • Conductivity properties off-the-charts!

In simple terms:
Liquid magnesiun has cool physical thermodynamic proprieties but no applicative feature conventionally found insude your kitchen other than say…..a magma cooling process!

The Oddball Element

Did you know that magnesium falls under “alkaline earth metal” classification right along calcium…wait..what?

They’re both everywhere! In nutrients , minerals , bones……blah blah blaaahhhhhh….
The main difference between these two elements is unique temperature requirements when effectively utilized therapeutically for muscle spasms and even constipation.

Oh, did I mention liquid magnesium can also help combat depression? That’s right! It is scientifically proven that a lack of this element in your diet can lead to lower levels of serotonin in the brain which leads to depression.

Magnesium plays an essential role in many biological functions including enzymatic reactions like protein synthesis and works with both calcium and vitamin D to keep our bones healthy.

How Liquid Magnesium Is Created

Liquid magnesium is produced by applying extreme heat (in excess of 650°C or 1200°F) – enough to melt solid magnesium. The temperature depends on purity as well- making it harder than you might expect if impurities detract from conductivity intented between certain alloys.

Is There An Alloy In Town!?

Mixing different metals may produce improved load bearing strength – this includes melding high quality molten Mg together with other elements such as zinc, copper & aluminum.
A common example worth pointing out here would be using multiple degrees of hardnesses depending on preference – something you actually haul around every day without realizing it: automotive bodies!

Industrial Uses Of Liquid Magnesium

Since we just finished talking about heating up stuff let’s head down into the manufacturing realm…specifically where Molten Mg brings value due to its inherent stability upon striking intenser heats:

Die-Casting:

As magnesiun doesn’t contaminate metals with gasses when heated, while retaining their ductility/ability post-solidification following implemendation ‘casting’ makes perfect sense when bulk amounts are needed for specialized machining operations!

Automotive companies generally use die-casting methods since they demand strict adherence across multiple dimensions concerning product design;

While reliable producers ensure specific guidelines are set forth before castings ever take place it remains vital [Emphasis] that material test testing will insue afterwards.

In short,Molten mg is perfect for applications where it’s explicitly suited ensuring usability wherever needed (even survival gear!)

WHAAAAT!

Yes, you heard that right! Several outdoor and wilderness product manufacturers have started using liquid magnesium in their gear. It could be because of its incredible strength, high boiling point or just an attempt to look super cool – who knows?

Medical Uses

Magnesium naturally occurs in our bodies and offers various health benefits such as:

  • Helps reduce inflammation
  • Decreases the risk of developing certain types of cancer
  • Treatment for constipation and muscle spasms

It’s also believed that adding a bit more Mg to your diet helps combat depression while improving exercise performance.

However, non-healthcare professionals should not infer ‘alleged’ techniques without consulting with appropriate medical professional(s).

Benefits For Skin Health

I know what you are thinking….This sounds crazy but magnesium can do wonders to enhance skin health considering everything we’ve discussed about the metal so far today. Due primarily to calming properties available from the element†[Better way?] guess this tranquility trend makes complete sense.

Proponents claim utilizing components like lotions or creams containing magnesiun – particularly when post-work out soreness becomes unbearable- highlight significant relief after extensive use.[Fact]

There is even evidence which suggests people with eczema- yet largely under-disclosed by bigger cosmetics brands – may receive vast benefiits due in part provable molecular similarities between Mg oleic acids.

Conclusion

Who would’ve thought there was so much going on with something as simple-sounding as magnesium? We went through different forms via heat variance according to manufacturing needs , touched base on miscellaneous but crucial medical wellness facts and even delved into skincare incredulity. I mean giving foundry workers a chance at looking like welders while building sturdier automotive shells– now THAT’S cool![Humorous closer].
