Magnesium alloy development using liquid forging

Abstract

The objective of this wok is to fabricate magnesium alloys with calcium, Ca addition for improved mechanical properties and oxidation resistance using squeeze casting. AZ91, AM60 and AZ31 are selected as the base alloys due to their wide application in automotive and aerospace industries. The base alloys are to be alloyed with the alloying element, calcium with content varies from 1 to 4 wt. percentage
