this weekend I went into my shed and noticed my saws that were sitting on their wooden shelf had a white powdery "corrosion" on any exposed piece of their magnesium housings. I didn't think magnesium would corrode like that. I know aluminum will corrode but it takes a long time and exposure to something like saltwater. Is magnesium more susecptible to corrosion or is there a different culprit I should be looking for? I figure I will sand down the corrosion and give them a light coating of oil? any other suggestions.
