ABSTRACTIn spite of giving exceptionally low density and excellent machinability at relatively low cost, magnesium alloys have found only restricted application as engineering materials to date because of limitations in formability, corrosion resistance, strength and creep resistance. Although the very earliest work on record to employ rapid solidification as a means to enhance engineering properties was carried out on magnesium-base alloys, subsequent work employing more modern techniques has not, until very recently, been motivated by the need for alloy development. The present study combines a critical survey of relevant published work with an assessment of the potential of magnesium-base alloys for development by the rapid solidification route.

Due to their properties (low density, high corrosion resistance, easy to process), magnesium alloys are used in all important industrial fields (aeronautics, automotive, transport, etc.). Magnesium is the lightest metal for complex metal structures with a density 2-3 times lower than that of aluminum and a quarter than that of steel. The possibility of joining magnesium with other materials allows a greater flexibility in designing and increasing the number of applications for light alloys.This paper presents results obtained by ISIM Timisoara for FSW welding of magnesium alloy AZ31B. Considering the difficulties that arise when welding magnesium alloys using classical processes, it can be assumed that by applying the FSW process for joining these types of materials, the results obtained are very good and can substantiate industrial applications.

Magnesium alloys are widely used in automotive and aerospace industries due to their great connection of low density and good mechanical properties. They are also characterized by good castability and weldability. Their weak high temperature properties and corrosion resistance, led to development of magnesium alloys containing rare earth elements. Casting is the most popular way of manufacturing magnesium elements. However, there is a lack of investigations concerning impact of different factors on fluidity of these alloys. This paper presents results of investigations on influence of pouring temperature on castability and microstructure of QE22 and RZ5 magnesium alloys. In case of QE22 alloy, the filling length of the liquid alloy increased with the increasing pouring temperature. In RZ5 no such dependence was noted. This is probably caused by oxide films in the structure of material. Grain refinement and eutectics volume fraction also didn’t present correlation with pouring temperature.

Background: Solid free forming (SFF) technique also called additive manufacturing process is immensely popular for biofabrication owing to its high accuracy, precision and reproducibility. Method: SFF techniques like stereolithography, selective laser sintering, fused deposition modeling, extrusion printing, and inkjet printing create three dimension (3D) structures by layer by layer processing of the material. To achieve desirable results, selection of the appropriate technique is an important aspect and it is based on the nature of biomaterial or bioink to be processed. Result & Conclusion: Alginate is a commonly employed bioink in biofabrication process, attributable to its nontoxic, biodegradable and biocompatible nature; low cost; and tendency to form hydrogel under mild conditions. Furthermore, control on its rheological properties like viscosity and shear thinning, makes this natural anionic polymer an appropriate candidate for many of the SFF techniques. It is endeavoured in the present review to highlight the status of alginate as bioink in various SFF techniques.
