The Magnesium Technology Symposium, the event on which this collection is based, is one of the largest yearly gatherings of magnesium specialists in the world. Papers represent all aspects of the field, ranging from primary production to applications to recycling. Moreover, papers explore everything from basic research findings to industrialization. Magnesium Technology 2017 covers a broad spectrum of current topics, including alloys and their properties; cast products and processing; wrought products and processing; forming, joining, and machining; corrosion and surface finishing; ecology; and structural applications. In addition, there is coverage of new and emerging applications.
Reducing transport sector emissions is an important pillar of the green transition. However, the transition to electric vehicles (EV) portends major changes in vehicle manufacturing activity, on which many livelihoods in Europe depend. Using the heterogeneity across European countries in the speed of transition to EV production and variation in sectoral and regional exposure to the automotive sector, this paper offers early evidence of the labor market implications of the EV transition. Our results suggest that the transformation of the auto sector is already having an adverse impact on employment in the affected sectors and regions, which can be expected to grow at least in the near term. Many of the affected workers will be able to retire and our analysis suggests that those who will have to transition to new “greener” jobs have a fair chance to do so when compared to other workers in the manufacturing sector. Furthermore, we find evidence that active labor market policies, specifically training, can help to reduce the adjustment costs for the affected workers.
In this book the authors present the current state of both research and technological application of magnesium. In particular, casting and wrought alloys are presented in Chapter 5, followed by a large chapter dedicated to fabrication methods. Corrosion and Protection are treated in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 discusses Engineering Requirements, Strategies and Examples for automobiles in Europe, USA, Asia and Pacific and also for Aerospace and Consumer Articles. Chapter 10 is dedicated to recycling. The experience of authors from seven countries has been combined to produce this book. The book addresses materials researchers as well as design engineers. TOC:Introduction.- History.- Production Technologies.- Physical Metallurgy.- Melting, Alloying and Refining.- Alloys of Practical Importance.- Fabrication Methods.- Corrosion and Surface Protection.- Engineering Requirements, Strategies and Examples.- Recycling.- Data Sheet.
The volumes includes selected and reviewed papers from the 2nd ETA Conference on Energy and Thermal Management, Air Conditioning and Waste Heat Recovery in Berlin, November 22-23, 2018. Experts from university, public authorities and industry discuss the latest technological developments and applications for energy efficiency. Main focus is on automotive industry, rail and aerospace.
Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Power Sources, Models, Sustainability, Infrastructure and the Market reviews the performance, cost, safety, and sustainability of battery systems for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs), including nickel-metal hydride batteries and Li-ion batteries. Throughout this book, especially in the first chapters, alternative vehicles with different power trains are compared in terms of lifetime cost, fuel consumption, and environmental impact. The emissions of greenhouse gases are particularly dealt with. The improvement of the battery, or fuel cell, performance and governmental incentives will play a fundamental role in determining how far and ho...
