7/2/12
Introduction/Background
 Introduction revised for better flow
 Further details added to enhance
 Improvement for final draft:
 More background on coatings
 More pictures displaying corrosion/porosity issues
Methodology
 Detailed explanation on review process
 Explanation of paper goal and potential for further review
 Improvement for final draft:
 More detailed explanations through two sections
Results and Discussion
 All articles from Cole Library received
 Initial draft of alloys and coatings results written
 Final draft will include final details
 Improvement for final draft:
 Review last article to determine if it is relevant
 May not enhance paper
 Figures to enhance results from articles
 Table in Appendix that lays out all magnesium alloys described
and their applicatons/benefits
Conclusion
 Initial recommendations for aerospace and automotive
applications are proposed based on the results and discussion
 Improvement for final draft:
 Further application details
 Alloy types, application and coatings proposed for specific
applications in table form- potentially in appendix instead of
body.
Resources
 All articles received from Cole Library all but 1 were
reviewed and included in progress report 2
