Topics B

Applications and Performance

This topic addresses the application of lightweight alloys such as those of aluminum, magnesium, and titanium in lightweight structures across automotive, aerospace, and other transportation sectors. The focus is on performance during processing or under service-relevant conditions, including mechanical behavior, fatigue, creep, crashworthiness, and environmental resistance. Studies linking material selection, design, and performance are encouraged.
