In the context of the “InnMag” project, partners from industry and science are co‐operating to investigate the issues involved in adapting established production processes to the material Mg. The project's aim is to further the deployment of Mg interior parts in civil aircraft. The project covers every production step, from alloy selection, Mg ingot melting, alloying, direct chill casting, extruding, machining, surface treatment and component assembly. This paper discusses the project's targets and the results arrived at so far, particularly in the areas of direct chill casting and extrusion.
