Magnesium AE44 Alloy scrap

We buy all grades of magnesium waste for recycling, including Magnesium AE44 Alloy scrap and do so worldwide. By doing this, we preserve magnesium supplies and we effectually consider the environment. Magnesium recycling is not that simple because there can be impurities in magnesium and thus, magnesium must be purified first. We do this by using emulsifying salts.

Cars are becoming much lighter because of magnesium

Demand for magnesium continues to increase, for example from the automobile industry. With magnesium, cars can be made to be lighter than those now made with carbon and aluminium. Because there is still much lack of knowledge about magnesium and degrees of transformability, a real breakthrough has not happened yet but is unquestionable. This will only increase demand.

We dump our electrical equipment much sooner

Demand for magnesium has already increased because of the development of electrical equipment. We keep using this equipment for lesser periods of time because we always want the latest versions. These latest units always require fresh magnesium and this naturally leads to a decline in reserves. Fortunately, we recycle magnesium AE44 alloy scrap and other magnesium wastes. Otherwise, we would be depleting magnesium reserves too rapidly, which is not a desirable situation.

On a definitely unfavourable list of the EU

Meanwhile, the reality is that magnesium is on the EU list of critical materials. The EU imports almost half of the magnesium produced globally, notably from China which is a country subject to trade restrictions. This is clearly a worrying development. Therefore, it is a good thing for us to buy and process magnesium AE44 alloy scrap and other magnesium waste from all over the world. We buy, recycle and process it so that it can be re-used in the production of iron and steel and of ferro-alloys, and it can be found again in compounds of iron, chromium, nickel and manganese, as well as in crude iron and steel.

Magnesium is not found in nature

By working with emulsifying salts, impurities in the form of oxide and non-metallic particles are removed and pure magnesium is produced. In times when we are fortunately showing more concern and care for the environment, we are doing a very good job. Recycling limits the flow of waste and the growth of existing scrap heaps. In the case of magnesium recycling, more benefits are also involved: preventing it from becoming truly scarce but also being able to meet the growing demands for this material. This, by the way, is not just found in nature. It reacts with water and thus, it is extracted from the ground in the form of a particular ice and it is initially obtained as a salt-like substance. Processing actually turns it into the magnesium as we know it. We will continue focus on buying magnesium AE44 alloy scrap and other magnesium waste, after which we will process it. For this process, we confidently call ourselves specialists, without wanting to boast…
