%X Sheet properties of magnesium like ductility, strength and corrosion resistance are improved by alloying with rare earth elements. However, the availability of these elements is limited. So, by using innovative production and processing methods like Twin Roll Casting, high-strength and ductile Mg sheet materials free of rare earth elements should be developed with competitive properties. Various approaches are being used, which include the complete process chain of the alloy development through production of semi-finished products and components to be integrated into the final product.
