Due to low density and higher specific strength and rigidity than aluminium alloys and steels, magnesium alloys could be used in railway vehicles with less weight. Moreover, magnesium alloys have better capacity of vibration reduction than aluminium alloys and steels. In this report the previous work was shown, such as Mg honeycomb panels, Mg extruded profiles and their final product as berth, ventilating windows. The application of Mg alloys could produce weight, vibration and noise reduction, and improve running safety and higher energy efficiency for high-speed train.
