Producing high-integrity magnesium castings using permanent mold.
Producing High-Integrity Magnesium magnesium (măgnē`zēəm, –zhəm), metallic chemical element; symbol Mg; at. no. 12; at. wt. 24.305; m.p. about 648.8°C;; b.p. about 1,090°C;; sp. gr. 1.738 at 20°C;; valence +2. Castings Using Permanent Mold--Most magnesium castings are made by high pressure diecasting, which is incompatible with some classes of automotive components. A new permanent mold mold, name for certain multicellular organisms of the various classes of the kingdom Fungi, characteristically having bodies composed of a cottony mycelium. The colors of molds are caused by the spores, which are borne on the mycelium. casting process called T-Mag, developed by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO CSIRO Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (Australia) ), addresses the need for magnesium castings with high-yield, high-integrity and a wider range of geometry.
