If your good at welding aluminum, Magnesium should give you no problems. From a welding aspect, the two act/react very similar.

Straight Argon is the preferred gas. Crank your postflow up as much as possible. If you can, weld in an argon environment, since magnesium burns in air. AC and High freq on the welder.

If your dealing with a casting, the base metal is likely one of
AZ63A, AZ92A, AZ91C or AM100. If so, the filler you need is AZ92A.

Be careful how you dispose of any filings or small scraps of material (if your doing any cutting or grinding)
