Summary:

For many years cast magnesium alloy components requiring extensive machining have found application in many industries. Unfortunately, those least familiar with magnesium continue to regard its machining as a highly dangerous undertaking. Consequently, magnesium in part because of "safety considerations" has been ruled out of a number of applications where it should have been the material of choice. This paper discusses the machining characteristics of magnesium and the safe handling and disposal of chips
