 note = {Magnesium powder is a common fuel in the field of pyrotechnics. The metal corrodes easily under wet conditions. This can lead to problems such as spontaneous ignition and deterioration of combustion performance when the powder is used in humid areas. For pyrotechnic compositions containing magnesium, harmful stabilizers are often used. In this study, we researched a less harmful replacement for the stabilizer and selected linseed oil, which is used as cooking oil. Experiments were conducted to examine linseed oil’s stabilization effects against magnesium corrosion when it is in contact with an oxidizer under humid conditions by coating magnesium powder and soaking it in aqueous oxidizer solutions. The oxidation of linseed oil led to its polymerization, because of which the stabilizing effect of linseed oil was lost. Stearic acid, which is a saturated fatty acid, was also examined for its stabilizing effects. Melted stearic acid was mixed with magnesium, and coating of stearic acid on magnesium particles was confirmed. The effect of stearic acid coating is more prominent than that of simple mixing of stearic acid with Mg. The stabilization effect of linseed oil and stearic acid coating shows that unharmful organic stabilizers can also be used in pyrotechnic compositions containing Mg., This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in "Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry".
