AEROMAG - Aeronautical Application of Wrought Magnesium, a three years research project, was funded by the European Commission under FP6. The aim of the 20 project partners from suppliers, universities and aeronautic industry was to evaluate if Magnesium products with a density of only 65% of aluminum, could be a break through technology for the aerospace industry if used for aircraft components. The technical focus of the project was the investigation of new Magnesium wrought products (sheets and extrusions), that provide significantly improved static and fatigue strength properties, which were required to be as high as typical 5xxx and 2xxx aluminum alloys. It was shown that besides hot forming also welding technologies like LBW and FSW are working well. Corrosion was solved with environmentally friendly surface protection systems and advanced design concepts. Flammability was addressed with the chemical composition and special surface treatments. Finally, material adapted design and the evaluation of structural behavior was investigated and concluded with a cost/weight evaluation for aeronautic components.
