| Description: | The aim of this special collection was to provide an opportunity for companies, academic institutions and government research agencies to share, in a collaborative manner, their new research and development work. . The main focus was light metals and their applications. It is to be noted that there was a significant number of papers related to titanium research: due to the extended range of applications of titanium components and the growth in end-user demands for affordable manufacturing. As a result, the collection is truly representative of the three light metals: aluminium, magnesium and titanium; with a similar number of papers concerning each metal. The papers are grouped into the chapters: 1. Business and Environment; 2. Joining of Light-Metal Alloys; 3. Magnesium - Medical; 4. Titanium - Aerospace; 5. Simulation, Modelling and Materials Science; 6. Light-Metals Forming; 7. Magnesium Surface Modification; 8. Aluminium Surface Modification; 9. Titanium - Medical; 10. Aluminium Heat Treatment and Processing; 11. Innovation in Light Materials; 12. Magnesium Casting; 13. Magnesium Microstructure and Properties; 14. Titanium Near-Net Shape; 15. Magnesium Processing; 16. Aluminium Microstructure; 17. Aluminium Casting; 18. Powder Metallurgy and Near-Net Shape. This book will therefore be essential reading-material for anyone working in the light-metal alloy field. |
