1. Overview: 2. Background: Lightweighting in the automotive industry is crucial for improving fuel efficiency. Aluminum and magnesium castings have been utilized for this purpose for a considerable time, gaining significant traction since the mid-1970s. Aluminum castings offer a 30-50% mass reduction compared to steel, while magnesium castings provide a 40-60% reduction. However, existing aluminum
