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

Fig. 1. The components of intermetallic phases examined using XRD and TEM in the Mg4LaxAl (x ¼ 08, wt.%) alloys fabricated by gravity die casting. The purple dotted lines correspond to the critical Al/La ratio for the formation of certain simplex intermetallic phase, and the dotted gray area corresponds to the Al/La range where only Mg12La phase forms.
