Performance of Light Alloys

Light Alloys play a vital role in everyday activities, with extensive applications in the aerospace, architecture, automotive, biomedical, electronic, packaging, lithographic sectors, etc. In order to assist the exploitation of aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys, the structure property and performance relationships are crucial, with probing from the nanoscale upwards assisted by the complementary use of advanced electronoptical, electrochemical, surface analytical and structural approaches. From the previous, effective surface treatment and finishing for corrosion control are employed to ensure durability.
