Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Light metallic alloys are continuously gaining growing interest for a wide number of applications owing to energy saving and environmental sustainability issues, as well as good processability for the easy shaping of parts and biocompatibility for medical applications (especially for Ti and Mg).
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight recent innovations introduced in the fields of light alloys considering the perspectives of new materials and related processing routes and of new fields of applications and design strategies in these sectors.
