“…Though currently there are no adequate wrought magnesium alloys available to meet the requirements of automotive body applications, extensive research is taking place to enhance the properties of magnesium sheet products. [2] Steel, on the other hand, is currently the automaker's material of choice. This is because cold-rolled mild steel offers excellent ductility, consistent properties, and low overall component production costs.…”

An initial study was made to evaluate the feasibility of joining magnesium alloy AZ31 sheet to galvanized steel sheet in a lap configuration using friction stir welding (FSW). Two different automotive sheet steels were used for comparative evaluation of the dissimilar joining potential: a 0.8 mm thick, electrogalvanized (EG) mild steel, and a 1.5 mm thick hot-dipped galvanized (HDG) high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel. These steels were joined to 2.33 mm thick AZ31B magnesium sheet. A single FSW tool design was used for both dissimilar welds, and the process parameters were kept the same. The average peak load for the AZ31-1.5 mm steel weld joint in lap shear mode was found to be 6.3 ± 1.0 kN. For the AZ31-0.8 mm steel weld, joint strength was 5.1 ± 1.5 kN. Microstructural investigation indicates melting of the Zn coating present on the steel sheets, and subsequent alloying with the Mg sheet resulted in the formation of a solidified Zn-Mg alloy layer.

“…Thus, unless the production of magnesium in China can overall equal, or better, the CO 2 emissions from the integrated, natural gas fi red plants, the resultant carbon footprint from its use in car construction is likely, at best, to be marginally acceptable. However, between © Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2011 the years 2000 and 2006, energy consumption in extracting magnesium in China dropped by 40% and the Chinese government is supporting efforts to reduce energy consumption further and increase waste heat utilisation (Beals et al 2007) so that there seem to be grounds for optimism in the medium term.…”

Analysis for effects of electrolyte level on energy consumption in magnesium electrolysis by finite element method

et al. 2016

In the process of magnesium electrolysis, increasing the level of electrolyte can reduce the cell voltage and energy consumption in an electrolysis magnesium cell. In this paper, a three‐dimensional model of a full cell was implemented to study the relationship between the cell voltage and electrolyte level in a magnesium electrolysis cell. Firstly, the resistance voltage of difference current intensity in magnesium electrolysis cells were discussed with the electrolyte depth from 1.25 to 1.45 m. Moreover, the size of anodes and positions of anodes and cathodes were changed to investigate the trend of resistance voltage in the cell. The energy consumption in each part of the electrolyte was integrated to further understand the energy distribution in the electrolyte to explore which part of the electrolyte has the greatest contribution to the cell voltage. Through analyzing components of the cell voltage, energy distribution, and thermal balance, the explanation of the relationship between electrolyte level and energy consumption can be obtained.
