This special session invited five magnesium alloy industry experts from universities and enterprises to give a wonderful speech on "Material control, part design and forming technology of cast magnesium alloy".
Xu Shiwei, director of the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Design and Manufacturing of Automobile Body and Professor of Hunan University, gave a speech and made a meticulous sharing of the development process of the new type of corrosion resistance. He also discussed the corrosion resistance and microscopy of the magnesium alloy bare and forged magnesium alloy wheels. Organizational analysis and testing conditions of mechanical properties, fatigue properties, torsion and impact properties are systematically and comprehensively introduced.
Xu Shiwei, Director of the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Design and Manufacturing of Automobile Body and Professor of Hunan University, chaired the meeting and delivered a speech entitled "Development and System Testing of Corrosion-Resistant Magnesium Alloy Forged Wheel Hub"
Mr. Yuan Ming from Chongqing University analyzed the current needs of the automotive industry and the development and application status of magnesium alloy auto parts, and shared a new idea of "solid solution strengthening and plasticizing" alloy design.
Professor Yuan Ming from Chongqing University delivered a speech titled "Key Performance Evaluation and Case Analysis of New Magnesium Alloy Materials"
Professor Nick Birbilis, Associate Dean of the School of Engineering and Computer Science at the Australian National University, specially recorded a video report for the conference, sharing the latest developments in corrosion-resistant magnesium alloys and wrought magnesium alloys, and focusing on the latest 3D printing light alloy technology.
Professor Nick Birbilis, Associate Dean of the School of Engineering and Computer Science, Australian National University, delivered a speech titled "ASnapshot of Recent Research in LightweightAutomotiveAlloys"
Dr. Zhang Jing, a senior engineer at the Engineering Research Institute of Beijing New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., predicted the application prospects of magnesium alloy in the three-electric system of pure electric vehicles, and shared the design, development and performance test verification process of magnesium alloy PDU housing , And analyzed the problems in the application of magnesium alloy in the three-electric system with an example.
Dr. Zhang Jing, senior engineer of Beijing New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. Engineering Research Institute, delivered a speech entitled "Discussion on the Application of Magnesium Alloy in the Three-electric System of Pure Electric Vehicles"
Zhang Jinsheng, director of the New Materials and Lightweight Office of Changan Automobile Engineering Research Institute, first showed the industry benchmarking of magnesium alloy front-end module development, and then shared the magnesium alloy front-end module design, simulation analysis, process analysis and manufacturing process with the participants. A summary of the test verification results of the magnesium alloy front-end module was carried out.
Zhang Jinsheng, Director of New Materials and Lightweight Division of Changan Automobile Engineering Research Institute, delivered a speech entitled "Mg Alloy Front-end Module Structure Design and Development"
Participants at this conference actively spoke in the discussion session, and actively discussed and exchanged ideas with the speakers on how to improve the performance of magnesium alloys and promote the application of the automotive magnesium alloy industry.
After the speech, the delegates held a "magnesium alloy materials" round table meeting, and conducted in-depth and extensive discussions on the theme "Dilemma and Breakthrough in the Application of Automotive Magnesium Alloy Industry". The roundtable meeting was chaired by Xu Shiwei, director of the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Design and Manufacturing of Automobile Body and Professor of Hunan University, Wang Zezhong, chief engineer of Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. Technology Center, Zhen Zisheng, technical director of Xi'an Magnesium Magnesium Co., Ltd., and researcher of FAW Foundry Co., Ltd. , Tong Guodong, Deputy Chief Engineer, Zhang Jinsheng, Director of New Materials and Lightweight Division of Changan Automobile Engineering Research Institute, Zhang Jing, Senior Engineer of Beijing New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. Engineering Research Institute, Xie Bo, Senior Manager of Investment Planning of Baosteel Metal Co., Ltd. of China Baowu Group Luo attended the meeting and expressed his views. Delegates discussed and analyzed that manufacturing costs, corrosion resistance, strength and toughness are the main factors that limit the development of magnesium alloys for a long time. Breaking through the application dilemma of the automotive magnesium alloy industry requires the collaboration of upstream and downstream companies in the industry.
