Magnesium alloys usually are heat treated either to improve mechanical properties or as means of conditioning for specific fabricating operations. The type of heat treatment selected depends...

The corrosion resistance of magnesium or magnesium parts depends on similar factors that are critical to other metals. However, because of the electrochemical activity of magnesium, the relative ...

As with metal manufactures in general, the tensile and other properties of the magnesium materials depend upon the composition, condition (whether cast or wrought), details of fabrication, heat ...

In projecting applications of magnesium alloys at elevated temperatures, the tensile and other mechanical properties at the particular service temperatures must be considered. On account of their ...

Magnesium alloy castings can be produced by nearly all of the conventional casting methods, namely, sand, permanent, and semi permanent mold and shell, investment, and die-casting. The choice of a ...

Usage of magnesium alloys for aerospace applications has declined and consumption for nuclear power is static. Specialized alloy development for these markets has continued but at a slower pace ...

Magnesium and magnesium alloys are used in a wide variety of structural applications include automotive, industrial, materials-handling, commercial and aerospace equipment. The automotive ...

Magnesium alloys are utilized in engineering design mainly because of their high strength-weight ratios, excellent machinability, and relatively low cost on a piece basis. The specific gravity of ...

Both cast and wrought magnesium-alloy products are heat treated in practice to alter the mechanical properties. The type of treatment depends upon the nature and extent of the changes...

The strength, hardness, and modulus of elasticity of magnesium-base materials decrease with increasing temperature. Also, the elongation increases with rising temperature up to just below the ...
