High Performance Magnesium Alloys (Lifei Wang)

Advance magnesium alloy development through AI and sustainable processing technologies
 
Magnesium alloys?the lightest structural metals at 1.78 g/cm³?remain constrained by their Hexagonal Close-Packed (HCP) crystal structure?s mechanical limitations. High Performance Magnesium Alloys: Manufacturing and Applications presents technologies developed over the past five years to overcome these barriers, integrating novel alloy design, additive manufacturing, advanced processing, heat treatment, surface engineering, and simulation modeling into a single reference.
 
Coverage spans simulation approaches including CPFEM, VPSC, and CA models alongside characterization via SEM, EBSD, TEM, FIB, and in-situ analysis. The book details machine learning applications for alloy optimization, corrosion testing protocols, additive manufacturing parameter frameworks, and surface modification strategies. Emerging applications in biodegradable implants, hydrogen storage, and energy-efficient manufacturing receive dedicated treatment.
 
Key topics also include:
 
* Casting, severe plastic deformation, and joining techniques tailored to magnesium alloy processing for structural and functional applications
* AI-driven alloy design workflows that shorten traditional trial-and-error development timelines for new compositions and target microstructures
* Real-world case studies connecting academic research with industrial practice across automotive, aerospace, and electronics sectors
* Pre-strain deformation methods and heat treatment protocols optimized for enhancing magnesium alloy ductility and formability at room temperature
* Sustainable manufacturing strategies aligned with global decarbonization goals that leverage magnesium?s natural abundance and full recyclability
 
Written for materials scientists, mechanical engineers, solid state chemists and physicists, and industry professionals in automotive, aerospace, and electronics sectors, this book delivers the experimental guidance and theoretical frameworks needed to accelerate magnesium alloy development toward scalable, environmentally responsible applications.
