Magnesium Ferrosilicate, commonly referred to as core fragments, are magnesium iron silicate crystals discovered deep within planet mantles. Formed under intense heat and pressure, these glowing red crystals have a low specific heat and high heat retention, making them exemplary heat conductors. Consequently, core fragments find their use in various applications, including internal combustion engines, heaters, and even as a spacecraft fuel source before the advent of Erchius.
When crushed into a fine powder, Magnesium Ferrosilicate, or core fragments, pave the way for additional applications. The silicon is typically extracted, leaving behind a magnesium-iron alloy powder. By manipulating the magnesium and iron ratio, the compound can be adapted for various uses such as creating thermite reactions, fireworks, and metal casting, each presenting its own set of utilization and precautions.
Extracting core fragments requires cautious mining due to the high-temperature environment of 500 to 900 degrees Celsius where they are found. While the core fragments themselves are not particularly hazardous, the surrounding environment necessitates protective gear and suitable mining equipment. The fragments, likely to be equally hot, should not be handled directly without adequate protection. For storage, maintaining them in a heat-resistant, low-temperature environment is advisable to prevent potential melting.
Transforming core fragments into Volatile Powder demands pulverizing machinery for optimal quality. After grinding, a filtration setup separates the silicon and achieves the desired magnesium and iron ratio. Machines designed to handle the core fragments to volatile powder conversion combine these processes, often featuring interfaces that allow users to specify their desired volatile powder form. Safe storage of volatile powder involves an airless, vacuum-sealed container, ensuring no moisture or oxygen is present during storage.
