ZL3 is a general-purpose alloy used in hot-chamber high-pressure die-casting for the engineering and automotive industry, household equipment and utensils, office equipment, locks and toys. It is easily machined, polished, lacquered and electroplated for decorative and functional purposes. 

Pure Mg is rarely used for structural applications due to its poor mechanical properties. Therefore, A1 and Zn have been introduced as major alloying elements for high-pressure die casting alloys. The main reason...

In this section, we report our recent results on the synthesis of Mg-based amorphous alloys in ribbon, bulk and powder forms by various preparation techniques such as melt spinning, metallic mold casting, high-pressure die casting and high-pressure gas atomization, and on their thermal, mechanical and chemical properties. This review also deals with the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-based alloys produced by warm consolidation of the atomized powders.
