Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Elemental magnesium is a gray-white lightweight metal and occurs naturally only in combination with other elements. The metal can be produced artificially, but is highly reactive. When exposed to the atmosphere it is coated in a thin layer of oxide that partly inhibits reactivity. Magnesium is used in super-strong, lightweight materials and alloys.

CompositionGeologyProductionUsesAluminum isn't found in nature as a pure element. It exhibits relatively high chemical reactivity, which means it tends to bond with other elements to form compounds. More than 270 minerals in Earth's rocks and soils contain aluminum compounds. This makes aluminum the most abundant metal and the third most abundant element in Earth's crust. Only silicon and oxygen are more common th在science.howstuffworks上查看更多信息

Magnesium processing Magnesium processing The metal and its alloys: Primary magnesium is available in grades of 99.90, 99.95, and 99.98 percent, but, in practice, grades 99.95 and 99.98 have only limited use in the uranium and nuclear industries. For bulk use, grades 99.90 and 99.80 are supplied. By far the greatest use of magnesium is as an alloying element
