Procedure to Analyze the Formation of Segregations Using the PLS-SEM Approach

Abstract:

Decreasing optimization potential concerning the weight reduction in aircraft and automotive components boost the demand for lightweight materials and new technologies. An opportunity to achieve considerable weight-savings is the application of magnesium strips produced by the novel Twin-roll casting and hot rolling technology. During the production the quality of magnesium strips can be reduced by segregations, which also influence the distribution of the mechanical properties. Exploring the formation of segregations is one research objective of this paper using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).
