A review of magnesium die-castings for closure applications

1. Overview: 2. Background: The Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, enacted in 1975, mandated improvements in the average fuel economy of North American cars and light trucks. While initial increases were required from Model Year (MY) 1978–MY 1985, significant increases weren’t seen until MY 2011. Currently, rising fuel economy requirements are scheduled through MY
