Process produces high intensity magnesium castings

Monday, May 8th, 2006

A permanent-mould casting process that requires neither applied pressure nor a vacuum to fill the die produces high-integrity magnesium alloy castings - free of porosity and other defects. Future cars will be far lighter - but just as strong - through new advances in a casting process that uses super lightweight ...
