Question.

Question.

(OP)
If you use a pure magnesium with stainless steel will it react chemically? Are there any safety warnings with these substances?

RE: Question.

Nature only gives lessons, not warnings, for that you need to do the research.
First step is to visit the suppliers web site for a safety data sheet.
This should provide sufficient indication of the hazards to prompt a further ivestigation of material compatability.
Web searches will usually provide a wealth of information.

We use stainless reactors do do reactions with 99.95% pure magnesium.  The problem is that the magnesium scrapes the stainless and you tend to get ppm levels of iron in the solution.
Does that help?

RE: Question.

Shouldn't we specify the circumstances e.g. wet or dry,
cold or hot, presence of other chemicals etc. ? Otherwise
what kind of reaction can there be between Mg only ?
( "between" implies more than one )
