Integrated Process Chain for Automobile Magnesium Sheet Components

摘要

Due to their outstanding property profile Magnesium flat rolled products represent an attractive material for new ultralight constructions. This is especially true for large thin-walled automobile components as well as for high performance machines or electronic equipment. The growing interest in Magnesium sheet results from continuous quality improvements and a better availability of semi-finished products. The technical and economical competitiveness is closely related to a further optimising of the process chains of Magnesium wrought alloys. Salzgitter Magnesium-Technologie GmbH in Germany concentrates on the development, production, processing and trading of new high-quality Magnesium flat rolled products. The company offers a complete technology and material partnership ranging from product development to series applications. This presentation focuses on Mg-sheet products and reports about a joint research project of Salzgitter Magnesium-Technologie GmbH, Volkswagen AG and other partners developing ultralight Mg-sheet components for auto-body structures.
