| Re: magnesium in GT's interior; is this dangerous?

I can tell you that I have welded mny magnesium parts with no problem, as long as any dust or chips from the prep are thoroghly removed. As was mentioned above it is the thin sections and small pieces that ignite. I can say that it has a peculiar greenish glow when being welded, and sounds different under the arc than aluminum, but I never had a problem. Most of the parts were non replaceable pieces such as uprights and wheels. If it does go up the only thing to do is walk away and watch as there probably is no way to extinguish it easily.
