Novel Magnesium Based Materials: Are They Reliable Drone Construction Materials? A Mini Review

Novel magnesium-based materials are ideal candidates for use in future aviation vehicles because they extremely light and can therefore significantly increase the range of these vehicles. They show very good castability, easy to machine be shaped into profiles or forgings used as components next generation aerial vehicle construction. In case a large number identical components, high-pressure die casting magnesium alloys is clearly superior aluminum alloys. This due lower solubility iron thus tool/casting life longer. addition, filling times approximately 30% shorter. density: 50% heavier than alloys, which significant disadvantage especially aerospace industry. There cost-effective novel besides AZ91 AM50/60 such DieMag633 MRI230D, specific strength at room elevated temperatures. wrought choice smaller, typical representative AZ31, but some new based on Mg-Zn-Ca currently being developed improved formability. However, susceptible environmental influences, eliminated by suitable coatings. corrosion protection concepts classical under development might may need adaption construction constraints dependent exposure scenarios. Within this mini-review paradigm change utilization drone material briefly introduced fields applications within next-generation vehicles, manned unmanned, discussed. Possible research topics will addressed.
