“…While it has been demonstrated repeatedly that Mg wrought alloys can show a wide spectrum of mechanical, chemical and physical properties [ 3 , 4 , 5 ], multiple reasons for their limited use can be found. Particularly noteworthy is the small number of industrially available alloying compositions, lack of stock material, the use of high-priced alloying elements, and last but not least, a lack of practical knowledge regarding material processing and utilization [ 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”
