For about ten years magnesium alloys have gathered strong interest by the automotive industry resulting from new legal and market requirements. While pressure die casting soon found its applications, wrought alloys suffered from high costs and limited supply. However, parallel to activities to improve the production of sheets and extrusions, Stolfig GmbH started feasibility studies on new applications: Material tests in the range of room temperature to 250 deg C, extrusion of thin walled hollow profiles and deep drawing of sheets as well as Nd:YAG laser welding were performed in collaboration with the Light Metal Competence Center Ranshofen (LKR). The aim of the authors was to develop and test components for automotive usage. This efforts finally resulted in the delivery of prototype parts to Volkswagen. Their record-breaking 1-liter-car was equipped with space frame parts and interior paneling made of wrought magnesium alloys by Stolfig GmbH.
