Advances In Processing And Mechanical Behavior In Lightweight Metals And Alloys

Lightweight Metals And Alloys Have Represented For Many Years The Most Suitable Solution For Many High-tech Applications, Including Sport Equipment And Automotive Components Where Alternate Movements Required Low Inertia. Aerospace Has Probably Been The Sector Where Most Of The Potential Of Aluminum And Titanium Resides. The Term Light Alloy Is Focused On Materials Based On Aluminum, Titanium, And Magnesium Systems, Including The Intermetallic-reinforced Matrices.nevertheless, The Processing Of Light Alloys Has Always Been Faced With Low-formability And Narrow-thermal Processing Windows With Respect To The Steel Family.thanks To Researchers' Creativity, Processes Have Been Invented Based On Complex Forming Steps, I.e., Gas-superplastic Diffusion Bonding, Or Hot Isostatic Postprocessing To Overcome This Drawback And Obtain Net-shape Or Near-net Shape Components.what Is The Frontier Of Processing?
