Preface
Since its launch in 1986, the International Conference on Magnesium Alloys and Their
Applications has become the most reputable and excepted event as forum for current
development in magnesium technology. The increase in interest on magnesium alloys for
use in transportation industry and the dramatic changes in the magnesium industry in
the last 5 years show consequences for the market development and influence the R&D
activities.
th
The 6 International Conference and Exhibition on Magnesium Alloys and Their
Applications reflects this evolution process. The aim of the conference is to show the
correlation of processing, microstructure and properties for magnesium materials. The
complexity of interactions must be understood to use the full potential of magnesium
materials for a particular application. The conference will cover the important aspects of
magnesium research and technology including:
Alloy Development
Microstructure Evolution
Casting
Wrought Alloys
Post Processing
Recycling
Simulation, Modelling
Corrosion
Surface Treatment
Magnesium Matrix Composites
Application
Research Programmes
The conference returns to Wolfsburg, the home of Volkswagen Group, where it saw the
biggest success. The Call for Paper has attracted more than 230 papers from 28 countries.
More than 190 contributions are published in the proceeding volume. They give an
excellent overview on newest developments.
