Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Dablink This article is about the firework component. For the science fiction novel, see Dragon s Egg . For the actual dragon egg, see dragon . Dragon s eggs are fireworks pyrotechnic star s which first burn for a period for a visual effect then explode with a loud report noise report . Manufacture of this effect became controversial because of the heavy metals once used, particularly lead tetroxide Pb sub 3 sub O sub 4 sub . Nowadays, however, bismuth trioxide or bismuth subcarbonate are commonly used as more environmentally friendly substitutes for lead compounds to achieve the effect, and its occurrence in fireworks displays has since become much more common. Because of its chemical makeup, a shell or Cake firework cake containing mainly dragon s eggs is often noticeably heavier than a similar device containing other effects.

Magnalium is an aluminium alloy with 1.5 to 2 magnesium and small amounts of copper , nickel , and tin . ref Citation last Jones first Franklin D. title Engineering Encyclopedia page 782 publisher Industrial Press year 1954 volume 2 url http books.google.com books?id wMQ60uKzJQQC&pg PA782 isbn 9781406701371 postscript . ref Some alloys, intended for particular uses at the cost of poor corrosion resistance , may consist of up to 50 magnesium. It finds use in engineering and pyrotechnics . Properties Alloys with smaller amounts of magnesium about 5 exhibit greater strength, greater corrosion resistance, and lower density than pure aluminium. Such alloys are also more workable and easier to weld than pure aluminium. ref http www.infoplease.com ce6 sci A0831148.html magnalium Infoplease.com ref Alloys with high amounts of magnesium around 50 are brittle and more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium. Uses Although they are generally more expensive than aluminium, the high strength, low density, and greater workability of alloys with low amounts of magnesium leads to their use in aircraft and automobile parts. Alloys with about 50 magnesium are brittle and corrode easily, which makes them unsuitable for most engineering uses. However, these alloys are flammable when powdered, are more resistant to corrosion than pure magnesium, and are more reactive than pure aluminium and are therefore used in pyrotechnics as a metal fuel and to produce sparks. Magnalium powder also burns with a crackling sound if burnt by itself, and provides a good compromise between the reactivity of Magnesium, and the stability of Aluminum. Another benefit for pyrotechnics is the brittleness of the alloy, as mentioned before. It is easily broken with a hammer and then ground in a coffee grinder to usable powder. It will grind in a ball mill into a fine powder in a matter of hours, as opposed to a matter of days with aluminium powder. Although it must be noted that it is much more powerful than Alu ... more details
