Mustapyro Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) What is the coarsest Magnalium I can use for strobe fuel? I have some -10+50 but I'm concerned about it sparking when it crushes against itself. Edited January 12 by Mustapyro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zumber Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It seems -10+50 is too coarse for strobe. 100 mesh 150 mesh 200 mesh or combination of single ,two or three different mesh would be a choice depending on burn rate and frequency. Mesh size is responsible for burn rate and frequency. Too coarse and too fine distroys effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenlight Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I have 325 mesh magnalium powder which is obviously too fine for strobe fuel so I purchased some 200 mesh magnalium. It is flake magnalium though. Will this still be okay to use even with the increased surface area provided by the flake form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zumber Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Test a smaller batch like 100 grams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
