Cast and wrought magnesium alloys, powder metallurgy (P/M) prepared alloys, and metal matrix composites (MMCs) are described. Currently, the majority of large components of magnesium alloys are produced by high-pressure hot and cold chamber die casting, while an extensive number of ultra thin components are cast by thixomolding, gravity sand, low-pressure sand and metal die molding,and semisolid and squeeze casting. An example of sheet and plate alloys is AZ31 (Mg–3Al–1Zn–0.3Mn), which is the most widely used. Magnesium composites containing boron, silicon carbide, and graphite are of increasing interest, particularly in the aerospace industry. The silicon containing-AS- based alloys show good creep properties at elevated temperatures and the Mg-Y-RE-Zr alloys show the highest creep performance. Corrosion due to poor design, flux inclusions, surface contamination, galvanic couples, and incorrectly applied or inadequate surface protection schemes is avoidable. Magnesium alloys are used in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and guided weapons industries because of their light weight and high strength-to-weight ratio. The use of magnesium alloys in structural applications is the most active area. Wrought magnesium products, su
