High Purity ChunkAmerican Elements specializes in producing high purity Magnesium Chunk using crystallization, solid state and other ultra high purification processes such as sublimation. Standard Chunk pieces are amorphous uniform pieces ranging in size from 5-15 mm. American Elements specializes in producing custom compositions for commercial and research applications and for new proprietary technologies. American Elements also casts any of the rare earth metals and most other advanced materials into granules, rod, bar or plate form, as well as other machined shapes and through other processes such as nanoparticles (See also application discussion at Nanotechnology Information and at Quantum Dots) and in the form of solutions and organometallics. See research below. We also produce Magnesium as rod, pellets, powder, pieces, disc, ingot, wire, and in compound forms, such as oxide. Other shapes are available by request.

Magnesium (Mg) atomic and molecular weight, atomic number and elemental symbolMagnesium is a Block S, Group 2, Period 3 element. The number of electrons in each of Magnesium's shells is 2, 8, 2 and its electronic configuration is [Ne] 3s2. In its elemental form magnesium's CAS number is 7439-95-4. The magnesium atom has a radius of 159.9.pm and its Van der Waals radius is 173.pm. Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element in the earth's crust. It is one-third lighter than aluminum, and because of this is used in alloys that are essential for aerospace, satellite and missile construction. The metal improves the mechanical, fabrication, and welding characteristics of aluminum when used as an Magnesium Bohr Model alloying agent. Uses also include flares and pyrotechnics due to its pyrophoric properties. Magnesium compounds, primarily magnesium oxide, are Elemental Magnesium used mainly as refractory material in furnace linings for producing iron and steel, nonferrous metals, glass, and cement; the global industrial demand for Magnesium Oxide Nanopowder in particular is predicted to grow by 8.7% from 2013 to 2018, according to a December 2012 report from Transparency Market Research. High purity magnesium is found in dietary supplements. Magnesium is commercially produced from brucite, carnallite, dolomite, magnesite, olivine and talc. Magnesium was first discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808. The name Magnesium originates from a Greek district in Thessaly called Magnesia. See Magnesium research below.
