Exploitable results
FP6-AEROSPACENew magnesium alloys with increased strength and good corrosion resistance have been developed. The alloys comprise different groups, which are suitable for sand casting, investment casting, permanent mould casting and high-pressure die-casting. Both die-casting and gravity casting alloys were developed both for thin-walled and thick-walled castings as well. Out of the six new alloys, which have been developed for high-pressure die-casting, one was selected for production of reference parts. Three new alloys have been developed for gravity die-casting, investment casting and sand casting.
the main dissemination and exploitation activities within the project frame of activities were the following
- establishment of an Advisory Board (AB);
%- development of project website;
- contribution to conferences and publications.
A magnesium process and simulation database and a design manual for aircraft designers are under development. Apart from information on alloys, their mechanical, physical and corrosion properties the database and the design manual will also contain characteristics of casting process technologies and design principles.
the AB members participate by contributing according to their own expertise. Part of the magnesium database will be published and made accessible through the IDEA website.
the results of the project will be measured in three phases:
- Short-term measure (up to 2 years after project finalisation): Implementation of cast Mg components in IAI airplanes.
- Medium-term measures (2-5 years after project finalisation): This is the outcome followed by the second wave of AB member's exploitation activities. Successful outcome of this stage will be the use of cast Mg applications by other aerospace companies.
long-term measure (5-10 years after project finalisation): Mg is an attractive and competitive material for the aviation industry.
