Magnesium alloys are excellent materials for die castings

but they must be processed correctly before their significant advantages can be realized. Magnesium die casting alloys are light-weight and offer designers a wide varity of possible applications. This paper described magnesium alloy charc-teristics

and dicussed the effects of storage

melting

refining of the alloys

cast process and dies on the production of high quality magnesium die castings.
