Abstract
Different commercially available magnesium alloys were converted to powder by inert gas atomization and mechanical methods. The alloys used (AZ 91, MSR and ZE 63) are a medium strength, a high strength and a high temperature alloy respectively which are used for sand, ingot or die casting. The powder was characterized and the powder properties determined as a function of the production parameters. The untreated powders were consolidated by extrusion. The influence of the powder production on the final properties of such material is discussed and these are compared with those of conventionally produced alloys.Keywords
