Safety management of magnesium alloy die casting workshop

    The magnesium alloy die casting workshop is the same as the ordinary die casting workshop in good ventilation, not only that, but also for fire and waterproof have more stringent requirements. The workshop building must use the non-combustible materials to complete, the floor materials were also heat-resistant and without water suction. Do not install the exhaust fan above the melting furnace, guards against the rain leakage    . Die casting worksite must be clean, do not allow any water and grease, and to have good ventilation conditions.
     Magnesium alloy die casting materials should be stored in a cool dry and ventilated warehouse, the smelting site should not be stored too many magnesium ingot. The regrind material and waste materials of the magnesium alloy should also be stored separately in the non combustible container. The supply of power, fuel, cooling water and gas in the die casting machine and the furnace shall have the remote control, if the accident can be turned off in time. The workshop must have emergency exit and remain unobstructed.
     Fire extinguishing agent for magnesium alloy have dry sand, covering agent, D grade fire extinguisher. These fire fighting equipment should be placed in the place of the eye-catching place and facilitate the emergency use of the scene, dry sand and the covering agent should be stored in the container to prevent be affected with damp, and often check.
