This paper includes the results of high-temperature rheological experiments on semi-solid magnesium alloys and the verification of different models describing the rheological behaviour of semi-solid magnesium alloys. Such information is key from the point of view of designing alloy forming processes in their semi-solid states. Magnesium alloys are a very attractive material, due to their light weight and good plastic properties; on the other hand, this material is very reactive in a liquid (semi-solid) state, which is challenging from a testing and forming perspective. Formulating/finding models for an accurate description of the rheological behaviour of semi-solid magnesium alloys seems to be key from the standpoint of developing and optimising forming processes for semi-solid magnesium alloys.
