Features: This book is the crystallization of the dedicated research over ten years by multiple experts and professors from the National Engineering Research Center for Precision Forming of Light Alloys at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who specialize in magnesium alloy research and development. The book consists of twelve chapters, systematically and comprehensively introducing the physical metallurgical properties of magnesium and its alloys, the microstructure and performance control of magnesium alloys, the melting and purification techniques of magnesium alloys, the principles and technologies of solid and liquid forming of magnesium alloys, the joining techniques of magnesium alloys, the theory and technology of corrosion protection for magnesium alloys, as well as the applications of magnesium alloys in the machinery industry, electronic products, and aerospace. This book is the first to systematically present the design concepts, technologies, and performance of flame-retardant magnesium alloys, the design concepts, microstructure control, and performance of high-temperature-resistant magnesium alloys, as well as the theory and technology of preparing ultra-high-strength magnesium alloys using non-equilibrium solidification methods. This book is suitable for scholars, researchers, and engineering technicians engaged in magnesium alloy research, development, and application, and can also serve as a teaching reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in metallurgy and materials science.
