    My old Homelite Buz appears to have a lot of aluminum and steel in it. Acres site, however, says it's made of die cast magnesium. I'll have to check it and see where the magnesium is.

    The only aluminum cased newer saws I know of are the Dolmar/Makita 460, 500 and 510. It showes on the weight that they are aluminum rather than magnesium.......
    Firewood saws: Jonsereds Raket 621 (1970), Husky 353G (2003), Euro Stihl MS361W (2004), Husky 372xpg (nov 2006), Husky 339xp (may 2007), Husky 346xpg New Edition (sept 2007), Jonsered 2153WH (april 2010), Husky 560xpg (nov 2011).

    Witchys saw, Dolmar PS5100SH (also may 2007). Rest in peace, my love!

    alloy's boys!

    I'm no metallurgist but I'm pretty sure what we here refer to magnesium is actually an alloy with the largest element being magnesium, followed by aluminum. In mold making, we referred to it as "Al-Mag".

    I agree with you. I have been welding up some mag clutch covers and crankcases with my tig and the research I did shows that they are an alloy and so the rod I use is an alloy of mag and aluminium just like you said being mostly magnesium.
