The EU project MagForming is being funded by the 6th framework program priority 4 aeronautics and space. The purpose of this project is to advance the state of the art in the technology of plastic processing of wrought magnesium alloys for aeronautical applications by developing tools and manufacturing processes for industrial applications. The measure for attaining the objective is by attempting to fabricate several technology demonstrators, at least one for each of the considered forming technologies. These are: forging, pad-forming, deep drawing, super plastic forming, roll-bending and creep forming. The partners form a consortium consisting of ten companies and two universities from Europe and Israel. These partners are specialized in the development of new magnesium alloys, materials characterization, FEM analysis, development and construction of tools and dies, forming and application.
