Summary:Magnesium alloys are widely used in automotive applications in which heat treatment is of primary concern. This article systematically presents the effect of heat treatment when applied on different magnesium alloys. It summarizes the changes occur as a result of heat treatment like microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour. The influence of elements such as rare earths, aluminum, zinc, etc applied on magnesium alloys was outlined. Effect of heat treatment and deformation on magnesium alloys are discussed. Challenges as a result of heat treatment were addressed for further research and scope of work.
