How can you break up magnesium ribbon into fine particles for use in making sodium-magnesium aggregate? Cutting it up is effort and takes ages so any
suggestions are appreciated.VSEPR_VOID - 13-7-2018 at 18:50
You turn a rock tumbler into a mill. TheMrbunGee - 14-7-2018 at 00:19

Turnings would be the traditional route. Do you have access to a lathe or drill press?
How brittle is your Mg? My ingots crumble quite easily and I intend to give them a bit of a bash with a hammer.Ubya - 14-7-2018 at 05:03

mhh he said magnesium ribbon, using a lathe or drill press would be ok with an ingot as you said, but with ribbon how would you do that?
maybe using first a blender to make fine-ish particles and then a ball mill to make them into powder.
trying to melt the ribbon into an ingot i suppose would end up in a metal fireJJay - 14-7-2018 at 05:27
Is it safe to run magnesium ribbon through a blender? I imagine you'd cut or drill the roll into pieces first. I've run aluminum through a coffee
grinder, but magnesium seems more prone to sparking, and most people can't flush their blenders with argon.
