This study analyzed the thermal characteristics of magnesium-aluminium alloy powders, finding that powders of different particle sizes exhibited variations in explosion pressure, limiting oxygen concentration, and activation energy. Smaller particle sizes showed higher reactivity and lower minimum ignition temperature, highlighting the importance of attention in handling these powders.
Magnesium-aluminium alloy powders, although widely used in the polishing process on variable scales, also have a potential to be explosive. Having a thorough understanding of the thermal aspects of magnesium-aluminium alloy powder ensures process safety and is essential for developing an adequate emergency system. This study analysed the influence of the particle size, ranging between 105 and 420 mu m on the thermal characteristics of magnesium-aluminium. The results revealed that at a dust concentration of 1750 g/m(3), 105, 210, and 420 mu m magnesium-aluminium alloy powders exhibited a maximum explosion pressure of 0.97, 0.86, and 0.78 MPa, respectively. The limiting oxygen concentration values of 105, 210, and 420 mu m samples were 4, 13, and 15 vol.%, respectively. The apparent activation energies E-a of 105, 210, and 420 mu m samples were 286.5-70.6, 165.2-39.9, and 224.8-168.8 kJ/ma respectively. Furthermore, the flammability parameters exhibited greater reactivity for smaller particle sizes, i.e., the minimum ignition temperature sharply decreased from 700 to 550 degrees C. Thus, this study provides valuable insights into the combustion characteristics and the severity of the dust explosion hazards of magnesium-aluminium alloy powders in order to ensure better safety standards in the metal processing industry.
