Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00606, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Ravindran, Comondore (Ryerson University), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : The use of magnesium alloys in the aerospace industry has been increasing steadily. Magnesium alloys are_x000D_
about 78% lighter than steel and 35% lighter than aluminum alloys. Due to this reason, the use of magnesium_x000D_
alloys results in better fuel efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. However, magnesium alloys_x000D_
suffer from several limitations such as low creep resistance, lower tensile strength, poor workability, and low_x000D_
wear and corrosion resistance. To meet the technical specifications for use in aerospace alloys, the mechanical_x000D_
properties of magnesium alloys must be improved. An important metallurgical process to increase the_x000D_
mechanical properties of alloys is grain refinement. The aim of this project is to develop novel grain refiners_x000D_
and grain refining techniques to improve the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys. The development of_x000D_
high performance magnesium alloys will lead to their incorporation in the product design of aerospace_x000D_
components. The development of this innovative technology will lead to growth in revenue as well as_x000D_
employment opportunity for highly skilled manpower, which will benefit Canadian economy., program purpose french : The use of magnesium alloys in the aerospace industry has been increasing steadily. Magnesium alloys are_x000D_
