Frequently Asked Questions

Can magnesium chips or magnesium alloy scraps be processed with a briquetting machine?

Processing magnesium chips with standard briquetting machines is extremely dangerous and generally prohibited.

Magnesium is highly reactive and its fine particles can easily ignite during compression because friction and heat generation may trigger combustion.

Specialized systems require sealed chambers with inert gas protection such as argon or nitrogen and oxygen content below 2%.

Why can titanium chips or sponge titanium ignite during briquetting?

Sponge titanium and fine titanium powder may ignite because their ignition temperature can be as low as 200–300°C.

Causes include:

• Fine titanium particles smaller than 0.5mm

• Moisture content above 0.5%

• Excessive friction caused by rough mold surfaces

How can titanium chip ignition risks be reduced?

Recommended safety procedures include:

• Dry materials to moisture content below 0.1%

• Remove very fine particles through screening

• Add passivation materials such as dry sand or silicon carbide powder

• Use molybdenum disulfide dry-film lubrication

• Apply slow compression speeds between 5–10mm/s

What materials can a metal briquetting machine process?

The machine can process steel chips, iron scraps, aluminum chips, copper shavings, stainless steel waste, alloy materials, metal powders, scrap steel, and other industrial metal wastes.

What are the main benefits of metal briquetting?

Metal briquetting reduces material volume, lowers storage and transportation costs, improves melting efficiency, increases recycling value, and creates cleaner and more environmentally friendly production processes.
