{"product_id":"magnesium-magnesium-alloys-and-magnesium-composites","title":"Magnesium, Magnesium Alloys, and Magnesium Composites","description":"A look at the current and future uses of magnesium-based products and their role in the world's environmental and technological revolution\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe lightest of all structural metals, having one-fourth the density of steel and two-thirds that of aluminum, magnesium has already been adopted as an alternative construction material in applications as far ranging as automotive and sports equipment, electronics, and space technology. In a world concerned with minimizing the environmental impact of products, the choice of light-weight, energy-saving, and high-performance materials, like magnesium, would seem a small, significant step towards improving life on this planet. Magnesium, Magnesium Alloys, and Magnesium Composites introduces the science and current applications of this important metal, shedding light on the magnesium-based composites developed over the last fifteen years.
