“…This alloy with its high melting point of 1640°C is very promising for high temperature components. [4,7,15] Received: January 11, 2006Final version: March 06, 2006 By Wong Wai Leong Eugene and Manoj Gupta* Magnesium is a light weight structural material with a potential to offer about 33 % saving in weight over aluminum. This makes it a potential candidate in weight critical applications such as in electronics, automotive, space and sports sectors.…”

“…This makes it a potential candidate in weight critical applications such as in electronics, automotive, space and sports sectors. [1][2][3][4][5] The physical and mechanical properties of magnesium can further be enhanced by using a suitable reinforcement. SiC in particulate form remains a suitable choice as it is easily available, cost effective and compatible with magnesium matrix.…”

“…SiC in particulate form remains a suitable choice as it is easily available, cost effective and compatible with magnesium matrix. [1][2][3][4][5] The unification of reinforcement with the magnesium matrix so far is attempted using liquid phase [2,3,5] and solid phase [6,7] processes. In recent studies, it was convincingly shown that microwaves can be used to sinter metal based monolithic and composite formulations.…”

“…[4] The procedure for the integration of the fibre reinforced preform is as follows: fixation of the preform in the newly developed ceramic shell mould, [4] positioning of the shell mould in the furnace, flooding with inert gas, pre-heating, casting and controlled cooling down. Examples for fibre reinforced preforms, the ceramic sandwich moulds and a first casting experiment are pictured in Figure 4.…”

For environmental reasons an increase of the efficiencies of power stations is needed and further improvements of materials are essential. Today combined gas and steam turbine power stations obtain overall efficiencies of 58 %. Temperatures of approximately 1230 °C in gas turbines exceed the load limits of the commonly used materials. For efficiency increase turbine inlet temperatures must be increased up to 1350 °C (ISO) in the gas turbine.

Development of Investment‐Casting Process of Mg‐Alloys for Aerospace Applications

et al. 2007

Investment casting offers high‐quality castings with good dimensional accuracy, being therefore suitable for aircraft applications. Since commercial ceramic shells react with Mg melts and appropriate inhibitors being not available, magnesium alloys are not widely used in industrial investment‐casting. In order to overcome this situation and enable the aircraft industry to take advantage of the light‐weight properties of magnesium, the process is analyzed within the European FP6 IDEA project, which aims at developing new high‐strength magnesium casting alloys for aeronautic applications.
