Development in Light Metals: Volume 188 (Key Engineering Materials) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The light materials (aluminium, magnesium and titanium) are important for many applications, but are most critical for transportation where weight saving results in a plethora of benefits inlcuding reduced fuel consumption, higher speed and longer range, improved performance/handleability, etc. This applies whether we are dealing with automobiles, airplanes, space vehicles, bicycles or even submarines - witness the titanium alpha class submarine in "Hunt for Red October". The pesent volumes presents advances in the areas of titanium alloys, aluminium alloys and composities and magnesium alloys and, therefore, should be of value to all with an interest in light metals.
