"New Features on Magnesium Alloys" ed. by Waldemar Alfredo Monteiro

This book gives us an overview in some special areas of magnesium alloys concerning technological applications and eco-friendly requirements.

Each chapter brings us a new facet relating to the magnesium alloy application:
magnesium alloys quasicrystals used to magnesium alloys reinforcement;
rare earth metals as alloying components in magnesium implants for orthopaedic applications;
magnesium alloys surface treatment by applying physical vapor deposition processes; casting magnesium alloys subjected to laser treatment;
ductility enhancement on special magnesium alloys; welding and joining processing of magnesium alloys;
transport application of magnesium and its alloys.
