Magnesium: Recent Advances in Research and Industry

Magnesium (Mg), as the lightest structural metal, has a bright horizon in the future of the industry.

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have several advantages, such as low density, high specific strength, and biocompatibility. However, they also suffer some weak points, such as high corrosion, low formability, and easy ignition, which makes their applications limited. In this presentation, the new approaches to strengthen the strong points and improve the weak points will be presented.
