Forging technology for magnesium alloys

authored by: B. A. Behrens, I. Pfeiffer, J. Knigge
Abstract: This chapter discusses forging technology, and how forged components may be superior to die cast. Forming behaviour is described, and the most important magnesium alloys are introduced. The forging process, including heat treatment and lubrication, is reviewed, with a description of finite element analysis and simulation of the process, and a sample forged component.

note = "Funding information: The authors would like to thank the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the European Commission for the financial support of the presented studies. The forging process for the door stop fitting, presented as the second example for magnesium forging processes, was developed through the MagForming project, which was funded by the European Commission within the sixth framework programme, priority four, aeronautics and space. The objective of MagForming was to advance the state of the art in seven different technologies of plastic and super-plastic forming of magnesium wrought alloys for aeronautical applications by developing methodologies and tools for industrial applications, and showing their feasibility in aeronautics. The MagForming consortium consisted of ten companies and two universities from Europe and Israel.",
