| Environmental remarks | 44% of the world production of magnesium comes from the US. Another 30% of the world production is won in the CIS. There are two types of technology for the refinery of magnesium: the Pidgeon process (smelting under vacuum) and the (electr.) Magnetherm process. The average energy requirement of the winning and refinery process is high. The world reycling percentage is 21%. The data is the world average for 1993. | |

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
