Abstract:Magnesium alloys, having high specific strength, with a density only 2/3 of that of aluminum and 1/4 of carbon steels, have become ideal materials for low mass applications such as automobiles and electronic devices. It was dealt with the state of the art in developing cost effective, low mass, high ductility and high creep resistance magnesium alloys that are suitable for structures and power train applications.
Key words: magnesium alloys; automobile; creep; application; mechanical properties
