Magnesium alloys and composites are potentially highly attractive materials for lightweight design in the automotive industry – if common forming technologies, i.e., deep drawing and cold extrusion, are applicable to them; so far, this is seldom the case. The authors have tested some candidate Mg alloys and discuss the results of their measurements in detail. The Figure shows a typical workpiece part obtained by a deep‐drawing technique.
