Abstract:Mg alloys have poor formability due to their hexagonal tightly packed (HCP) crystal structure, low active shear system at room temperature, and anisotropic behavior in polycrystalline structure. While this situation hindered the development and commercialization of Mg alloys to some extent in the past, today developments in machining, liquid forming and semi-solid forming technology have removed these obstacles. Semi-solid forming of alloys has been the subject of intense R&D since it was discovered in the… Show more
