In the last decades, the interest for magnesium has increased notably. In particular, the need for weight reduction in the automotive industry has made magnesium a suitable material to replace traditional structural materials because of its low density. But, in addition, magnesium is also finding applications in different sectors as aeronautics, electronics, medical or sports. Thus, machining of magnesium is a topic of great interest for industry and researchers. In the present work, an introduction to the main topics on magnesium machining is presented. The text covers from general topics of magnesium to more specific ones related with the machining process. In this sense, an approximation to the properties of magnesium, magnesium alloys and metal matrix composites of magnesium, and some applications are presented to give a general overview of magnesium. After that, the machining of magnesium is covered addressing general issues and more specific particularities of magnesium machining, such as the ignition risk. To conclude, a brief review of some of the main experimental investigations on magnesium machining is presented, covering drilling, milling and turning processes. In these studies, the machining process is assessed using indicators such as surface finish, temperature or tool wear.

Composites have become preferred material for weight reduction in automobile. Hybrid composite materials are used in many engineering applications for their versatile properties like lightweight, strength to weight ratio, low cost, ease of structure development and high strength. Automobile industry utilizes composites and hybrid composites in many of the interior and exterior applications. Considering ease of manufacturing methods under the wider choice of fabrication techniques, hybrid composites are developed wherever it can contribute for the enhancement of functional requirement simply by replacing the existing materials. Hybrid composites made from blending of natural and synthetic fibers in a polymer matrix show synergistic effect on properties which cannot be achieved from normal composites. In this paper, hybrid composites and especially its types, diversity of properties and possible material combinations are reviewed in detail. The development of a various type of hybrid composites in automotive applications such as in automotive piston application, brake friction material for medium duty automotive application, development of eco-friendly automotive anti-roll bar and low-velocity impact response of hybrid carbon/glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites are also reviewed in detail.

“…At the bushing area, the loading is transferred into torsional loading inside the bar (Zhang et al, 2012). The centre area of the ARB is now subjected to pure torsional loading and this causes compression on the other side of the arm (Prawoto et al, 2013).The summary of the force analysis of the ARB is illustrated as in free body diagram in Figure 3. Due to these extreme mechanical loading, critical design process with particular design parameters are importantly to be considered in order to construct a new improved automotive ARB.…”

In this study, understanding between the operation and mechanism of an automotive anti-roll bar is reviewed. Design consideration of the automotive anti-roll bar is studied from past researchers with the summarized of current invention of automotive anti- roll bar. In development of the automotive anti-roll bar, interaction between design elements such as material, function analysis, forces analysis, failure analysis and geometry specifications are essentially need to be considered in development of it without affecting its conventional function and achieve the performance target. The potential of the fibre reinforced composite such as natural fibre is likely to be the next future generation of automotive anti-roll bar. Considerations of the aforementioned design elements would help design engineers to outcome the challenges in design of composite materials. The inventions that patented by the past inventors would help as a guide.
