This revised text provides an up-to-date overview of the essential features of the metallurgy of aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys. The emphasis is on manufacturing processes and applications, areas in which there have been significant advances. The extraction of each metal is considered, followed by its casting characteristics and alloying behaviour. Sections on heat treatment properties, fabrication and major applications have been expanded in this edition to provide more coverage of the subject. Particular attention is given to microstructure/property relationships and the role of the individual alloying elements.
