The innovation of magnesium alloy forging technology will become an important driving force for the development of the automotive industry in the future. As a lightweight high strength material, magnesium alloy has great potential in automobile manufacturing. Through continuous improvement and innovation of forging process, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy forgings can be improved, and their application in the automotive industry can be further expanded. First of all, the lightweight advantages of magnesium alloy forgings can effectively reduce the weight of the vehicle, improve fuel economy and driving range. With increased environmental awareness and restrictions on fuel consumption, there is an increasing need for car manufacturers to reduce vehicle weight. Due to its relatively low density and excellent strength characteristics, magnesium alloy forgings have great potential in weight reduction, which can reduce the overall weight of the vehicle while ensuring safety and reliability. Secondly, the high strength of magnesium alloy forgings can improve the safety performance of vehicles. The strength and stiffness of the vehicle structure are the key factors to ensure the safety of passengers in the accident. Compared to traditional materials such as steel, magnesium alloys have a better strength-to-weight ratio, which can provide higher safety performance for cars. In addition, magnesium alloy forgings have good plasticity and formability, which can realize the manufacture of complex shapes. As automotive design becomes more and more focused on appearance and aerodynamic performance, the styling diversity and precision of components are increasingly required. Magnesium alloy forgings are easier to process and form than other materials, which can meet the requirements of different models for parts and improve the flexibility and innovation of vehicle design. However, magnesium alloy forging technology still has some challenges at present. The first is the cost problem, the current production cost of magnesium alloy forgings is relatively high, the need to use advanced forging equipment and technology, increase the production input. Secondly, the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy forgings needs to be improved, especially in harsh environmental conditions, there will be a large corrosion problem. In addition, the processing difficulty of magnesium alloy forgings is relatively high, and manufacturing parameters such as temperature and deformation need to be controlled to ensure product quality and performance. Therefore, the future development of magnesium alloy forging technology needs to further increase research and development investment, promote the development of innovative processes, and improve the production efficiency and quality stability of magnesium alloy forging. At the same time, the relevant standards and specifications also need to be improved to ensure their reliability and application safety in the field of automotive manufacturing. With the continuous progress of technology and the gradual maturity of economy, magnesium alloy forgings will certainly play a more important role in the future automotive industry and become an important force driving the development of the industry.
