Summary

Magnesium alloys as structural materials with high weight specific properties have again gained in importance as an alternative lightweight construction material in the last years. Because of this development a high increasing consumption of magnesium components is predicted for the future. This development mainly takes place for the magnesium diecasting. The production of components is nearly restricted to 90 % to the diecasting process. The portions of wrought alloys or formed components and semi-finished products will be almost ignored in this article.
