Technology for Magnesium Castings - Design, Products & Applications
The publication of this book is very timely in view of the important role magnesium contributes to the transportation industry and other industrial applications using the latest casting and processing technologies. 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 this book 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 ad semi-solid casting. This publication will be of great interest to many individuals involved in the metalcasting industry, especially the casting designer and process engineer. It will also be an invaluable tool for students of metallurgy, materials science and metalcasting.
