AFS Releases Technology for Magnesium Castings: Design, Products & Applications |
The American Foundry Society (AFS) has released a new publication, Magnesium Castings: Design, Products & Applications. The new publication includes valuable magnesium specific information on melt and process control, solidification, heat treatment, materials selection, and the various casting processes, including sand, permanent mold, high pressure die, lost foam, ablation and semi-solid casting.
The publication of this book is timely in view of the important role magnesium contributes to the transportation industry and other industrial applications that use the latest casting and processing technologies. Being a structural material with low density and a high strength-to-weight ratio, magnesium can reduce vehicle weight and, in turn, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase fuel economy. This publication will be an invaluable tool for design engineers, and students of metallurgy and materials science.
