Copper fluoride and lead fluoride form explosive mixtures with magnesium (Gorbunov, V.V. et al. 1986. Combustion, Explosives, and Shockwaves 22:726).
Magnesium can reduce the halide salts of zirconium, titanium and uranium, producing magnesium halide salts and metallic zirconium, titanium or uranium, respectively (Kramer, D. A. 2010. Magnesium and Magnesium Alloys. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. 1-55. (Online)).
Magnesium reacts violently and exothermically with beryllium fluoride (Walker, H. L. 1954. School Science Review 35(127):348).
Sodium and potassium bifluoride are used to etch aluminum and other metals (Aigueperse, J. 2012. Fluorine Compounds, Inorganic. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).
