Abstract
Cast and wrought magnesium have long been identified as a key pathway to automotive lightweighting and improved energy efficiency. However, adoption in the automotive market remains low. This talk will look at the application of magnesium components into various vehicle subsystems from 2012 through today and identify the technical challenges that currently limit full adoption.
