Abstract

Magnesium alloys are still the focus of current research. Special importance is attached to the economic production of semi-finished magnesium products, for example flat products. In the past 20 years, twin-roll-casting of magnesium alloy strips has been intensively investigated at the Institute of Metal Forming and successfully applied to various alloy compositions (from AZ31 to ZAX210 and WE43). The TRC technology enables the production of strips providing a wide range of strengths and ductility depending on the alloy composition and further processing.
