Abstract: Magnesium-based alloys having good mechanical properties, such as mechanical strength, ductility, and castability, and methods of making the magnesium alloys are disclosed. The magnesium alloys comprise 8.7 to 11.8 wt % aluminum, 0.63 to 1.93 wt % zinc, 0.1 to 0.5 wt % manganese, 0.5 to 1.5 wt % rare earth elements, and a remainder of said magnesium alloy being composed of magnesium and unavoidable impurities.

Abstract: A spraying method for forming a coating layer on a surface of a workpiece includes spraying the surface of the workpiece with a liquid coating having a viscosity in a range from about 1 to 8 centipoises, preheating the workpiece at about 60 to 80° C. for about 10 to 90 seconds, heating the workpiece at about 30 to 50° C. for about 1 to 4 minutes, while the surface of the workpiece is inclined at an angle defined between the surface of the workpiece and a horizontal surface of less than 20°, and then drying the workpiece at about 50 to 80° C. for about 5 to 15 minutes.

Abstract: A fluid recovery device includes a receiving vessel for receiving a recovered fluid, a pump, a fluid container, and a conduit communicating the receiving vessel, the pump, and the fluid container successively, and the pump is turned on or off at a predetermined time interval. A method for recovering fluid uses the fluid recovery device.
