The situation is this,

An alloy containing magnesium begins to lower its magnesium content when heated above 1166 deg F (magnesium ignition temperature) When said alloy is heated above this temperature (1500-1700F) what are the effects on the rate of loss of magnesium?

Is it a marginal increase (10-20%) or something more drastic

any guidance / links to research would be appreciated.

thanks in advance
