Recent developments in the field of green sand moulding, together with low cost of moulding materials (green sand), high degree of recyclability of moulding materials and high flexibility of green sand moulding process were the key factors, fostering Foundry Institute of Technical University of Freiberg to start an extensive study on sand casting of magnesium alloys. This study focused on two aspects: technology of green sand moulding for magnesium and mechanical properties of magnesium sand cast parts. Since aluminium‐containing alloys is the most widely used group of magnesium casting alloys, we concentrated on “classic” alloy AZ91HP. Key results of this study are presented in this paper.
