Can anyone help me? Magnesium chips/turnings in our shop are building up! What do i do with the chips? Can i sell them? Recycle them? Are there any laws about giving them away? I saw some for sale on ebay and didnt know if that was a legal option. Does anyone have an answer for us? ll the scrap metal places we contacted don't deal with magnesium. Some one must know. Thank you:wave:

hi'ya stephaniet, you could try arranging with your stock\casting supplier to take them if they are set up for the process for re-cycling, or contact a smaller bespoke foundary (they make specialty one-off castings) :rainfro::rainfro::rainfro: kman

Just watch that they don't get near a fire. Where I served apprenticeship they stored them in 55 gallon steel drums with clamp on lids. Magnesium fires are not easy to put out.

I would like to get some off of you if you want to sell about 20 lbs of it? I'm looking for smallchips/ shavings. The smaller, the better. If not, I'd b e willing to pay for the shipping and handeling of 20 lbs.

I'm willing to purchase about 20 lbs of your finer chips / slivers , Stephaniet.

You might want to check how they can be shipped. Fire hazard and all that. We used to make explosives with powdered magnesium.LOL
