Magnesium Processing and Reclamation
An industrial-scale 500
pound magnesium melting furnace has been used to recycle
magnesium alloys. A detailed experimental study has been
conducted on the processing characteristics of magnesium
alloys. The research focused on improving the toughness
of cast magnesium alloy products. A variety of methods
for protecting the metal from oxidation during delivery
to the shot sleeve have been tested and evaluated. Other
areas being studied include alloy selection, grain
refining, processing conditions, hot tearing and
mechanical properties. |
