Light Metals Technology V

Light Metals Technology V

Description:

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This special collection focuses on ongoing research topics concerning the light metals aluminum, magnesium and titanium; as well as some of their compounds. Scientific aspects, such as their mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, processing innovations, and also their current applications in the aerospace, automotive or medical fields are discussed. Sociological questions such as environmental challenges and implementation are also focused upon. Finally, computational materials science methods complete this thorough coverage of the light metals.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: The globe-hopping, biennial conference is devoted to research in aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and titanium aluminides. In addition to scientific aspects such as mechanical properties, corrosion, and processing innovations, the 120 or so papers consider applications in aerospace, automobiles, medicine, and other fields. Sociological and computational materials science issues are also addressed. Other areas are cast and wrought alloys, novel forming technologies, microstructure and properties, corrosion and surface modification, and environmental challenges. Among specific topics are applying Lorentz force velocimetry to open channel flow, materials science and engineering opportunities for an energy-efficient and low-carbon economy, fatigue crack growth in ultrafine grained aluminum alloy, predicting microstructure and mechanical properties in aluminum castings after heat treatment, the environmentally assisted cracking of magnesium alloys, and how adding iron to aluminum affects the structure and properties of wires used for electrical purposes.
