| Abstract Scope |
Mg alloys are often regarded as remarkable lightweight structural materials
for both cast and wrought applications, enabling parts with low mass and
good specific mechanical properties. Nevertheless, in the case of highest strength requirements, no industrial satisfactory solution using Mg alloys has been found yet. While Mg alloys containing considerable amounts of rare earth elements are known to reach high strength levels, the material costs and availability are a hindrance for widespread application. Alloys based on the Mg-Ca-X system on the other hand, provide high strength and adequate ductility using abundant alloying elements. These materials can therefore be considered frontrunners for a new generation of high strength Mg wrought alloys. An introduction to the alloying and production principles of Mg-Ca-X alloys will be given and potential variants presented. |
