Abstract Scope |
The global market for magnesium alloys has steadily expanded in the past decade, stimulated by the strong demand for lightweight components from the automobile and electronic industries. It is important to develop new advanced magnesium alloys with enhanced formability, high strength, and improved corrosion resistance to expand the application of Mg alloys. Mg sheet formability is an important requirement for enclosure applications such as car doors, hoods, and decklids, and necessitates further improvement. In addition, the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys should be improved while maintaining high strength for automobile and bioimplant applications. This study examines various approaches for increasing the formability of Mg sheets and develops magnesium alloys with high corrosion resistance and strength using severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes such as multi-directional forging (MDF) and screw rolling (SR). |
