At present, countries around the world are very optimistic about magnesium alloy die castings, especially in the automotive, aviation, telecommunications, transportation, and machinery industries. Replacing aluminum alloy or steel parts with magnesium alloy castings may effectively reduce mechanical weight in consideration of appreciable savings in energy consumption and marked decrease in environmental pollution. When a car reduces its body by 100 kg, fuel consumption per one kilometer travel will be reduced by 0.4L. Therefore, it is evident that these developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and Europe are magnifying the domain of magnesium alloy castings in automobile departments, such as steering wheels, instrument boards, seat frames, crankcases, wheel nave boxes, and etc. This has been an increasingly large domain for the application of magnesium alloy die-casting parts in household appliances, light industry, and daily hardware, such as notebook casings, recording and playback heads, mobile phones, power tool bodies, camera covers, indoor decorations, and motor mower casings. These parts are magnesium alloy die-casting parts- not only great weight reduction plus precise stable dimensions but also a smooth surface and a host of outstanding advantages.
