Abstract
Several new Mg alloys for high temperature applications were recently developed with the intention to achieve an adequate combination of different properties such as creep resistance, castability, room temperature, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and affordable cost. Unfortunately, this combination of properties is hard to get and evidently most of the new alloys can only address part of the required properties and performances. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the current status of the newly developed alloys and in parallel, explain the complexity of Mg alloy development for power train applications. The paper will also try to schematically draw the effect of alloying elements on properties and cost. This will serve to distinguish the position of a new alloy in the space of properties and performance, which can be used for creating material's selection criteria.
