Abstract
Safe handling of magnesium alloys in the high volume die cast production plant is an integral part of the overall manufacturing process. There are inherent problems involved with handling molten metals and handling molten magnesium alloys is no different. The risks must be identified and managed through proper procedure and employee training. Proper handling practices as related to employee and equipment safety will be discussed along with procedures for handling emergency situations.
