Abstract
Technology transfer of the university seeds on materials and processing of the advanced magnesium alloys to industries was discussed, in employing matching fund scheme. The applications of core technologies, promoting the high-performance of them via microstructures control such as grain refinement, solid-state synthesis of Mg_2Si dispersoids, and hot extrusion, were introduced. In particular, the scale-up equipments and processing oriented to mass production were developed to fabricate large half-products; magnesium alloy rods, bars, and pipes. Patent pool system was employed in this R&D program to assist the effective and useful technology transfer of university seeds including intellectual properties, technical and market information.
