- Title
Current Wrought Magnesium Alloys: Strengths and Weaknesses.
- Authors
Bettles, Colleen J.; Gibson, Mark A.
- Abstract
The opportunities for extruded and sheet magnesium products in the automotive industry, in particular, are increasing as the quest for light-weighting gains momentum. However, the current alloys all have limitations and these are accentuated when higher productivity targets are also imposed. This article attempts to summarize the strengths and weaknesses of the current wrought alloys, with particular emphasis on the extrusion process, and also considers alternative processing routes which may be useful in overcoming some of these shortcomings.
