Magnetite / Black Iron Oxide

Magnetite is an iron-oxide based mineral that contains equal amounts of iron(II) (FeO) and iron(III) (Fe₂O₃), with an empirical formula, Fe₃O₄, and it is often expressed as iron(II,III) oxide. Magnetite is a natural iron oxide magnet and the most magnetic of all the minerals on Earth. It is a black powder used extensively as a black pigment, Mars Black.
Detailed Particle Size Information

Standard low micron APS (d50) granulations are typically available at 10 microns, 18 microns, and 63 microns. Additional powder and granulation sizes are available.

Magnesium (Mg) Metal

Magnesium (Mg) is a light, moderately hard, silvery-white metal that ignites easily in the air and burns with a bright light. It is strong, has good heat dissipation and dampening, and is easy to weld, forge, cast or machine. It can improve the mechanical, fabrication, and welding characteristics when used as an alloying agent since it has a low density and is the lightest structural metal (a third lighter than aluminum). It also has good electrical properties. Magnesium turnings and chips are produced by milling commercial and high-purity magnesium, keeping size under control to obtain the desired specific surface and reactivity. They are silver-white. initially, but can turn to a dark gray if stored improperly. Purity: Standard purity (99.8% Mg) Ultra-high purity (99.98% Mg)
