Abstract

The application of cast magnesium alloy components is increasing in recent years, especially in the new energy automotive and transportation industries. As component application scenarios become increasingly complex, the performance of cast magnesium alloys needs to be further enhanced. Significant progress has been made in casting technology and the design of cast magnesium alloys. In addition, some new application of cast magnesium alloy components is also developed recently. This paper provides an overview of the current status of high-performance cast magnesium alloys, including the alloy design, casting techniques, control of casting defects, and applications of cast magnesium alloys. Based on the issues and challenges identified here, some future research directions on cast magnesium alloys are suggested.
