While melting scrap metal, sometimes I have accidentally burned magnesium thinking it was aluminum. To avoid mistaking magnesium for aluminum, additional testing is needed beyond the simple magnet test.

How do they melt magneseum and pour it into molds?

It definitely doesn’t appear to be pure magnesium, as magnesium once lit burns ferociously!
