Research abstract
The Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) seeks to catalyze research, development and adoption of energy-related advanced manufacturing technologies and practices to drive U.S. energy productivity and economic competitiveness. In particular, the AMO seeks to strengthen the critical materials supply chain, including manufacturing of magnesium-based alloys for vehicle lightweighting. Magnesium alloys have the lowest density of all engineering alloys. As the sole U.S. integrated magnesium alloy caster and extruder, Terves seeks to market novel magnesium alloy extrusions with reduced energy consumption through lower processing temperature in comparison with melt processed die casting as well as enhanced extrudability through alloy thermodynamic model driven chemistry selection. Future applications include cast components for the automotive and aerospace industries in which weight reduction is a targeted desirable property.
