Description

Magnesium is a lightweight, silvery-white metal that is abundant in the Earth’s crust. It has a low density, low melting point, and high reactivity. It is classified as an alkaline earth metal and is found naturally combined with other elements.

Magnesium metal is mainly produced by electrolysis of magnesium salts extracted from brine. It is less dense than aluminum and is used extensively in lightweight alloys for applications in the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries. Magnesium alloys have excellent strength-to-weight ratios and high damping capacity compared to other structural metals.

Magnesium has a long history, with Joseph Black first identifying it as an element in 1755. Humphry Davy isolated the pure metal in 1808 by electrolysis. Its unique properties and versatility have made it widely used in modern industry and technology.
