Magnesium is a silver-white active metal that can conduct electricity and is soft. It has relatively strong reducing properties. Magnesium oxide can be generated by burning magnesium strips. Magnesium is often used as a reducing agent to replace metals such as titanium, zirconium, uranium, and beryllium. It is mainly used in the manufacture of light metal alloys, ductile iron, scientific instrument desulfurizer dehydrogenation and Grignard reagents, and can also be used in the manufacture of pyrotechnics, flash powder, magnesium salt, etc.
