This collection from the 12th International Conference on Magnesium Alloys and Their Applications (Mg 2021)―the longest running conference dedicated to the development of magnesium alloys―covers the breadth of magnesium research and development, from primary production to applications to end-of-life management. Authors from academia, government, and industry discuss new developments in magnesium alloys and share valuable insights.

Topics in this volume include but are not limited to the following:

Primary production

Alloy development

Solidification and casting processes

Forming and thermo-mechanical processing

Other manufacturing process development (including joining and additive manufacturing)

Corrosion and protection

Modeling and simulation

Structural, functional, biomedical, and energy applications

Advanced characterization and fundamental theories

Recycling and environmental issues

 

Alan Luo is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Integrated Systems Engineering at The Ohio State University (OSU). Professor Luo leads the OSU Lightweight Materials and Manufacturing Research Laboratory (LMMRL) and is on the steering board of the OSU Center for Simulation Innovation and Modeling (SIMCenter). Dr. Luo is an elected Fellow of ASM International and SAE International. He is presently a director of the board of the International Magnesium Association and a past chair of the TMS Light Metals Division and SAE Materials Engineering Division. Prior to joining OSU in July 2013, Dr. Luo was a GM Technical Fellow at General Motors Global Research and Development Center with 20 years of industrial experience. He received his Ph.D. in Engineering Materials from the University of Windsor in 1993.

Professor Luo’s research areas include: 1) lightweight materials (aluminum, magnesium, titanium and high-entropy alloys, bio-metals, super-wood, and nanocomposites); 2) Advanced manufacturing processes (casting, forming, additive manufacturing, and multi-material manufacturing); and 3) lightweight design and integrated computational materials engineering (ICME). 

Mihriban Pekguleryuz is a Professor of Materials Engineering at McGill University and a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE). She has 30 years of combined industrial and academic research experience in light metals, specifically in magnesium-based materials some of which have been commercialized by automotive companies and metals producers globally. Her industrial experience ranges from IBM Canada to Noranda Technology (now Glencore) where she worked as Group Leader of Materials Engineering. In academia, she was awarded two industrial Research Chair positions, one with GM of Canada and the other with Alcan (now Rio Tinto). She was a founding member and a past Chair of the TMS Magnesium Committee. She is an Executive Member of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) and the Metallurgy and Materials Society (MetSoc) and is the Light Metals Section and Editor-in-Chief/Engineering for Experimental Results. Mihriban Pekguleryuz received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville (USA) and her Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering from McGill University (Canada) in 1987. She is currently leading the Light Metals Research Laboratory at McGill in research activities focused on lightweighting in transport applications (automotive body, ignition proof Mg for aerospace, Mg materials for fast train and rail); biodegradable and biocompatible Mg implants; aluminum diesel engine alloys, lead-free electronic interconnect materials, corrosion resistant Mg alloys, and the use of machine learning in light alloy development.
