Material Safety Data Sheet for Mg-35: Mg-35 MSDS
In stock we have a small fixed quantity of Mg-35 separated into two fractions – one coarse and one fine. The coarse fraction is -212 +10 microns and the other is -10 micron material. The finer fraction contains particles that are larger than 10 microns due to the long and narrow shape of some of them. The coarse fraction contains some ferromagnetic material with a highly spheroidal geometry plus some monocrystalline material with rough edges.
Regarding the ferromagnetic material: A large percentage of it is spherical, retains a magnetic charge for a very long time after coming into contact with a magnet, and can be crushed revealing a hollow center in many of them. When a concentrated amount of this material is heated in air it combusts rapidly to produce a small amount of fine white ash, which suggests this portion of Mg-35 is a type of metallic graphite.
