Despite the demonstrated ability of magnesium alloys to significantly reduce weight at acceptable costs in many areas of an automobile, powertrain components have not benefited from this metal, primarily because the high-temperature alloy that are required for engines and transmissions are too expensive. However, the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Automotive Materials Partnership have launched a project to evaluate several new, potentially low-cost magnesium alloys, design several pre-competitive powertrain components for the best alloy properties, cast and dynamometer or vehicle test the components in assemblied powertrains, develop a powertrain magnesium alloy design database and common alloy specification, and identify and promote the funding of fundamental research into improved magnesium alloys and casting processes.
