Magnesium Parts * USA - TxDot suspicious of dangerous metal
Waco,TX,USA -KXXV/TV 2, by Brian Collins -Feb 27, 2009: -- Several recent big rig fires have Texas Department of Transportation officials suspicious of trucks being built with more magnesium parts as truckers drive the 18-wheelers across Central Texas... Many big rig under-carriages have magnesium parts because magnesium is lighter and stronger than other metals. Magnesium will ignite if heated and touched by fire... Because magnesium takes longer to extinguish, cargo and fuel are more likely to catch fire. Roads can also be damaged by the extremely hot metal...Labels: dangerous trucks
