Authors: D'Errico, F.; Rivolta, B.; Gerosa, R.; Perricone, G.
Abstract: The research on magnesium alloys for structural lightweight applications is today at an embryonic stage, but these alloys offer great potential. Thixomolding of magnesium alloys for automotive applications is promising since the process can be used to manufacture net-shape parts cost-effectively and with high reliability and repeatability.
