Magnesium continues to play an important part to the transportation industry and other industrial applications. Being a structural material with low density and a very high strength-to-weight ratio, magnesium can reduce vehicle weight and in turn reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase fuel economy.
In Technology for Magnesium Castings: Design, Products & Applications, valuable information is provided on melt control, process control, casting and solidification, heat treatment, materials selection and various casting processes such as sand, permanent mold, high pressure die, lost foam, ablation and semi-solid casting. This publication will be of great interest to casting designers and process engineers, as well as an invaluable tool for students of metallurgy, materials science and metalcasting.
The 18 chapter authors are world-class scientists, professors and engineers with countless years of industrial and laboratory experience. The knowledge gained from their work, research and teaching has been incorporated to provide only the latest information to the reader. Each chapter was reviewed by qualified metallurgists/materials engineers from the metalcasting industry, academia and research laboratories to ensure that only the highest quality information was accepted for publication.
