An optimized casting process with the use of extruded Mg-Co powder rods is utilized which enables the production of magnetic magnesium alloys with a reproducible Co concentration. The efficiency of the casting process is confirmed by SEM analyses. Microstructures and Co-rich precipitations of various Mg-Co alloys are investigated by means of EDS and XRD analyses. The Mg-Co alloys\u2019 mechanical strengths are determined by tensile tests. Magnetic properties of the Mg-Co sensor alloys depending on the cobalt content and the acting mechanical load are measured utilizing the harmonic analysis of eddy-current signals. Within the scope of this work, the influence of the element cobalt on magnesium is investigated in detail and an optimal cobalt concentration is defined based on the performed examinations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s130100106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,21]],"date-time":"2012-12-21T11:06:37Z","timestamp":1356087997000},"page":"106-118","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Influence of Cobalt on the Properties of Load-Sensitive Magnesium Alloys"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5341-8457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian","family":"Klose","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Werkstoffkunde (Institute of Materials Science), Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover, An der Universit\u00e4t 2, D-30823 Garbsen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Demminger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Werkstoffkunde (Institute of Materials Science), Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover, An der Universit\u00e4t 2, D-30823 Garbsen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Gregor","family":"Mroz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Werkstoffkunde (Institute of Materials Science), Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover, An der Universit\u00e4t 2, D-30823 Garbsen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Wilfried","family":"Reimche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Werkstoffkunde (Institute of Materials Science), Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover, An der Universit\u00e4t 2, D-30823 Garbsen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Friedrich-Wilhelm","family":"Bach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Werkstoffkunde (Institute of Materials Science), Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover, An der Universit\u00e4t 2, D-30823 Garbsen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Maier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Werkstoffkunde (Institute of Materials Science), Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover, An der Universit\u00e4t 2, D-30823 Garbsen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Kerber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Werkstoffkunde (Institute of Materials Science), Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover, An der Universit\u00e4t 2, D-30823 Garbsen, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"65","DOI":"10.1007\/s11740-009-0191-z","article-title":"Genetics and intelligence: New approaches in production engineering","volume":"4","author":"Denkena","year":"2010","journal-title":"Prod.
