Produktbeschreibung

Magnesium, with a density of 1.74 g/cm², is the lightest structural metal, and magnesium and its alloys are increasingly the material of choice for weight-critical applications such as in land-based transport systems. Magnesium Technology substantially updates and complements existing reference sources on this key material. It assembles international contributions from seven countries covering the wide range of research programs into new alloys with the requisite property profiles, i.e., the current state of both research and technological application of magnesium. In particular, the international team of authors cover key topics, such as: casting and wrought alloys; fabrication methods; corrosion and protection; engineering requirements and strategies, examples from the automobile, aerospace, and consumer-goods industries, and recycling. This authoritative reference and overview addresses materials researchers as well as design engineers.
