What are the advantages and disadvantages of magnesium?

Answer 1

ADVANTAGES:

Zinc has many uses. Zinc can be used to create many different alloys, including brass, which is made up of almost 50% zinc. Also, zinc is used quite often as an anti-corrosive agent, which is to say that it can be used as a coating for things that would otherwise fall apart. Zinc oxide, a compound of zinc and oxygen, is used by artists as a white pigment in paints.

DISADVANTAGES:

Zinc is less dense than iron, which could be taken as a bad or a good thing. Zinc is very hard and brittle, but between the temperatures of 100 and 150 degrees celsius it becomes malleable, which means you can bend and move it.

Answer 2

Magnesium is needed for bone health, as well as nerve and muscle function. Too much magnesium can cause irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, and death. Too little magnesium can cause restless leg syndrome, anxiety, muscle spasms, and migraines.

Answer 3

Magnesium is used as an alloying agent (primarily with aluminium) and is known for being the lightest structural metal and for its strength (magnesium is less dense than aluminium). Alloys that contain magnesium have hexagonal lattice structures.
