Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to organize a Special Issue entitled “Advances in Lightweight Alloys II”. To meet the requirement of energy saving and emission reduction, lightweight alloys have been widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotives, and railway transportation. Recent research advances enable a better understanding of the relationship between the composition, microstructure, process, and properties of lightweight alloys. The papers presented in this Special Issue contain valuable information about the composition design, preparation process, casting, solidification, microstructure, and property analysis of lightweight alloys, including but not limited to aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, and lightweight nickel-based superalloy. We hope this Special Issue will contribute to the ongoing discussions on designing high-performance lightweight alloys and developing advanced processing technology.
