About Book: "Magnesium alloys are known for their light weight, high specific stiffness, and excellent castability and workability. The use of Mg alloys in general, and in the transportation industry in particular, has significantly increased over the last decades, and in-depth and broad knowledge is essential to meet the diverse mechanical, physical and environmental requirements. The Mg encyclopedia will cover a wide scope of topics related to Mg science and engineering, from manufacturing through production to finishing and applications. It will cover such topics as computational thermodynamics, modern Mg-alloys with enhanced creep or fatigue properties, cutting-edge approaches to melt treating (grain refinement, micro-alloying and the resulting solidification and growth), coatings, surface engineering, environmental protection (recycling and green energy storage and production), as well as biomedical applications"--
