Abstract
Abstract: This chapter introduces magnesium, the lightest of the structural automotive metals. it provides an overview of alloy nomenclature and properties, and the major casting, sheet forming, and extrusion processes. Descriptions of automotive magnesium applications produced by each process are provided and there is a summary that describes the challenges in alloy and process development that need to be overcome if the magnesium content in automotive sub-system applications is to be increased.
