Abstract: To be able to meet confident requirements for design as well as enhance overall vehicle performance, choosing a magnesium-based alloy for automotive applications necessitates taking into factors including power, resistance to corrosion, castability, and lowering of weight prospects. When choosing a magnesium-based alloy for automotive applications, it’s crucial to consider a number of significant variables. In order to ensure that the alloy can bear the necessary load and stresses, its strength and mechanical qualities must first match the exact specifications and requirements of the automobile part. Second, the alloy’s capability to resist corrosion is essential since it must survive the effects of the environment and safeguard against deterioration throughout the component’s lifecycle. In order to obtain the requisite lightweight attributes for enhanced fuel efficiency, production methods are optimized while taking factors like castability and lightweight potential for reduction into mental clarity. Several automotive applications, including as physique, frame, and inside parts, have utilized magnesium. Instrument clusters, steering wheels, engine cradles, chairs, transfer cases, and countless housings are some examples of Mg applications. By leveraging magnesium’s potential for integrating components into single-piece, thin-wall metal castings, these kinds of applications were created mainly to provide lower-mass elements. Applying the “Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS)” method, those making decisions are able to evaluate possibilities based on a wide range of parameters. It involves providing criteria weights, determining scores for every potential and summing the results to determine the most suitable option. Alternate Parameters: They are “AZ91, AM50, AM60, AZ31, ZE41, ZE63, EZ33, ZC63”. Evaluation Parameters: They are “Impact”, “Hardness”, “Thermal Conductivity”, “Elongation, Density”, “Fatigue strength”. For the Selection of Magnesium Alloy to suit Automotive Applications , the best magnesium alloy is so found out to be “AZ91”, “ZC63” is in the 2nd Rank, “ZE41” is in the 3rd Rank, “ZE63” is in the 4rth Rank , “EZ33” is in the 5fth Rank, “AZ31” is in the 6th Rank, “AM60” is in the 7th Rank, “AM50” is in the 8th Rank. The “AZ91” is in the 1st Rank, “ZC63” is in the 2nd Rank, “ZE41” is in the 3rd Rank, “ZE63” is in the 4rth Rank , “EZ33” is in the 5fth Rank, “AZ31” is in the 6th Rank, “AM60” is in the 7th Rank, “AM50” is in the 8th Rank.
