Magnesium Scraps

Sources of Magnesium Scrap New magnesium-base scrap can be generally categorized into four types. Type I is a high-grade scrap, which generally include materials, such as runners, gates, and drippings from die casting operations, which is uncontaminated with oils. Types II, III, and IV are lower grade materials in which type II is oil-contaminated scrap, type III is dross from magnesium-processing operations, and type IV is fines and chips.
