Objective
Fuel consumption and CO2-emission of passenger vehicles are associated with a growing demand for low weight components. As a consequence magnesium has recently gained importance due to its low density and the high strength to weight ratio. However, the existing Mg-alloys are not suitable for thick components requiring high strength and ductility. Furthermore, the current manufacturing technology has to be modified in order to fulfil the requirements of a high volume production. Therefore, the overall objective proposal is to develop a suitable manufacturing technology for the production of lightweight Mg-Chassis components and to validate this for two demonstrators. New Mg-alloys with improved mechanical properties and better corrosion resistance shall be used for the manufacturing of the demonstrators. Improved joining techniques are necessary targets for an appropriate assembling of Mg-components. A fatigue life estimation method and quality assurance methods for highly loaded parts will contribute to the design guidelines for Mg components.
