In the past few years,with the rapid expansion of
magnesium applications in the automotive industry,
the development of squeeze-casting technology for
magnesium alloys and their composites has been mo-
tivated by incentives to produce high-quality compo-
nents.Although a number of research activities [23,
44-52] have taken place,few applications of squeeze-
cast magnesium and its composite components have
been reported in the open literature.This article re-
views recent progress in squeeze casting of magnesium
alloys and magnesium-based composites.The effects
of process variables on the cast structure and proper-
ties of magnesium alloys and magnesium-based com-
posites are discussed.The significant advantages of
squeeze-cast magnesium alloys and magnesium-based
composites are highlighted.The on-going research
work at the Institute of Magnesium Technology
(ITM) is presented.
