Combustible metal fires, particularly those involving aluminum and magnesium, pose a uniquely challenging threat to industrial safety. Unlike conventional hydrocarbon fires, these incendiary events are characterized by extremely high temperatures, rapid propagation, and the perilous potential for violent reactions with water or other common extinguishing agents. The intense heat generated by burning metals can quickly escalate, causing structural damage, equipment destruction, and severe risks to personnel. In critical sectors such as manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and defense, where these metals are frequently processed or stored, the imperative for specialized and highly reliable fire detection solutions is paramount. Traditional smoke or heat detectors often fall short in identifying these specific hazards, underscoring the urgent need for advanced technologies capable of precise and rapid detection, differentiating metal fires from other sources, and ensuring timely, appropriate responses.
