Abstract
While magnesium cast components have found their application in the transportation industries the interest is now spreading to wrought alloys due to the possibility to get even more homogeneous and better properties compared to cast parts. Therefore alloy and process development especially for extrusion is a main concern to enhance the application of Magnesium wrought alloys. This paper gives an overview on the actual status of the process and alloy development of extruded Magnesium wrought alloys.
