The TMS Magnesium Committee: Committed to the Advancement of Global Magnesium Technology

摘要

The TMS Magnesium Committee was established in 2000 as a spin-off of the Reactive Metals Committee, triggered by the strong global growth of magnesium being used in a variety of structural lightweight applications since the mid-1990s. Since then the committee has seen a distinct development in terms of size, participation, and focus. Particular growth has been seen in the committee's two main activities: the annual Magnesium Technology symposia and publication in JOM of papers related to magnesium R&D. The Magnesium Committee is one of five technical committees acting under the umbrella of the TMS Light Metals Division. The committee, comprising active members of the international magnesium community, gathers each year at the TMS Annual Meeting. Committee officers are the organizers of the Magnesium Technology Symposia. Further, the committee annually names advisors to JOM to develop the technical topics determined by the committee.
