The custom wheel builder just moved out of my building, He gave me about 150lb of new Magnesium strips. They are bicycle wheel lengths before they get rolled into a wheel and fused. Any idea what I should expect per pound? Local place says .35 but that seems low. I could be wrong thou.
Sell it as fire starter?
I once found a BBQ grill that was made from Magnesium. I just added it to my cast alum pile. Looks like the grill was recalled do to it catching on fire!
I sell bicycle wheels as extruded aluminim.
I just dropped off 200 aluminum bicycle wheels last week. This is the strips of magnesium they were going to use to make new prototype wheels but changed the design. I thought it would be worth more then dumb old aluminum.
I did a google search and found that the price is about $1.50/lb on the exchange quote. I would think that the limited amounts involved $0.35/lb might be reasonable. Depending on the yard it might take a long time to get enough to ship. I would try as many yards as you have available to get a price from each. Mike.
