Strong and light! Processing magnesium alloys at room temperature using inexpensive elements
Traditionally, magnesium alloys are mainly prepared for molding using die-casting. Die casting is a method in which a high temperature molten alloy solution is pressed into a mold and then molded after the solution has cooled and solidified. The disadvantage of this casting method is that the prepared alloy does not have a high enough strength. The lightweighting of automobiles and rail transportation can significantly improve fuel efficiency and greatly reduce CO2 emissions. Magnesium is attracting attention as a new generation of light metal structural material. Magnesium, the next generation …
