%X Magnesium (Mg) is one of the most plentiful elements in,the Earth’s crust and seawater. It possesses low density, high,specific strength, high standard potential, and good biocom-,patibility. In addition, magnesium hydride shows the highest,energy density of all reversible metallic hydrides applicable,for hydrogen storage. These unique features make Mg and its,alloys a class of very promising material for structural and,functional applications pertaining to aerospace, transporta-,tion, and biomedical and energy sectors. Wide applications of,Mg alloys are thus deemed to significantly contribute to the,ever-increasing environmental problems and energy chal-,lenges in the worldwide. [...]
