Preface
In today’s dynamic environment where we face immense challenges including reducing carbon footprint and improving sustainability, magnesium alloys are recognized as a viable alternative to iron- and aluminum-based alloys as well as structural polymers. This is due in part to the low density of magnesium, making it the lightest of all metals used for practical applications, as well as a number of other remarkable properties such as excellent vibration damping, electromagnetic shielding, and low toxicity. However, magnesium and its alloys have some shortcomings in the general areas of formability at low temperature, corrosion resistance, and high temperature applications. Therefore, there has been a quest by researchers, through a unique partnership between various industries, government agencies/laboratories, and academia, to drastically reduce th
