Development of Ultrahigh Strength Magnesium Extrusion Alloys for Manufacturing Lightweight Aircraft Framework

澳大利亚联邦、州政府和私营部门在过去10年中对镁金属和合金进行了大量投资，以建立一个能够为澳大利亚带来钢铁和铝行业所产生的财富的镁工业。实现这一目标的关键步骤之一是不断大幅增加国际对镁金属的需求，目前镁金属的需求仅为铁的1/1700，铝的1/50。该项目有潜力扩大国际镁市场，并为澳大利亚技术的海外商业化提供平台。

Australian Federal and State Governments and the private sector have made substantial investments in magnesium metal and alloys in the past 10 years in order to establish a magnesium industry that can bring Australia the wealth that has been generated by the iron and aluminium industries. One of the key steps to achieve this goal is to continuously and substantially increase the international demand for the magnesium metal which is currently only 1/1700 that of iron and 1/50 that of aluminium. This project has the potential to increase the international magnesium market and to provide a platform for overseas commercialisation of Australian technologies.
