Summary
There is only limited knowledge about the superplastic behavior of magnesium alloys which add a further decisive contribution to weight reduction of components due to the fact that their density is 30 % less than that of aluminum alloys. The exploitation of the superplastic behavior is especially reasonable for magnesium alloys because of their restricted cold-working properties.
