(a) 630°C

(b) 760°C

(c) 850°C

(d) 970°C

This question was addressed to me in an interview for internship.

I need to ask this question from Magnesium Alloys in division Foundry Introduction & Materials of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

Right option is (b) 760°C

Explanation: When it comes to casting of magnesium alloys, the casting temperatures have to be kept in real control, that is, if the temperatures go too high, the metal might catch fire. The temperature range for casting magnesium alloys is 720°C to 800°C.
