International Magnesium Association

Magnesium is employed ki a wide variety of appHcations, based on its chemical, electrochemical, physical, and mechanical properties. The International Magnesium Association (IMA) divides the markets for magnesium kito 10 categories and tracks the volume of primary magnesium shipments to each market area on an annual basis.

The quantities of SFe used in various operating conditions are given in Table 3.26 (pressure diecasting) and Table 3.27 (gravity die-casting). These concentrations need to be maintained close to the melt surface [191, IMA, et al.]. The tabled values are the recommended practice for the use of SFe from the International Magnesium Association (IMA). In practice, higher concentrations are sometimes used (e.g. 99.4 % CO2, 0.6 % SFg) [202, TWG, 2002].
