Usage:
- The high temperature at which magnesium burns makes it a useful tool for
starting emergency fires during outdoor recreation. Other related uses include
flashlight photography, flares, pyrotechnics and fireworks sparklers.
- To photoengrave plates in the printing industry.
- In the form of turnings or ribbons, to prepare Grignard reagents, which are
useful in organic synthesis.
- As an additive agent in conventional propellants and the production of nodular
graphite in cast iron.
- As a reducing agent for the production of uranium and other metals from their
salts.
- As a sacrificial (galvanic) anode to protect underground tanks, pipelines, buried
