Heat Treatment of Magnesium Alloys – Current Capabilities

Abstract:

The essential factors controlling current heat treatment of cast and wrought magnesium alloys are reviewed along with the role of chemical composition and specific elements. The strengthening mechanisms and key precipitates are described, explaining crystallographic limitations of their role within the hcp magnesium matrix. Examples of changing properties are given for conventional alloys with trends in alloy design to magnify the aging effect. Emphasis is placed on magnesium structures produced by semisolid processing routes where a new approach to heat treatment is required.
