A new commercial Mg alloy sheet material was sourced and pretreated with protective coil coatings, and its properties fully characterized. The Mg sheet was successfully warm-formed using novel lubricants into intermediate size benchmark parts and full-size automotive door inner and outer panels. ...The project also explored conventional welding processes for joining of Mg sheet, developed novel corrosion treatments for multi-metal assembly coatings, performed computer simulations of door panel forming using two new material cards based on crystal plasticity theory, and concluded with a door static and dynamic performance analysis.
