Abstract Scope |
For the last 20 years, Canada has been a world leader in magnesium die-casting research and development. The breadth of research faculty and facilities, presence of a strong industrial sector, and the participation of government funded programs and agencies have fueled significant developments. This paper provides an overview of the developments led by Canadian researchers in the field of magnesium die-casting in alloy development, property and microstructural characterization, development of ICME models, joining and corrosion technologies, and automotive product development with focus on developments funded by large-scale government funded research programs. |
