The demand for aluminum alloys is increasing because of their lightness, high specific strength and other attractive properties, which can exploited in improved products for a greener environment. This book gives a correlation between the processing, microstructure and properties of several aluminium alloys. Some of them are well established and used in an enormous number of applications, while others are still under development. The processing spans from casting, rapid solidification, additive manufacturing, forming, heat-treatment and welding, which can produce interesting microstructures and a useful combination of properties.

Technology: general issues --- Al alloy --- laser induced arc hybrid welding --- heat treatment --- microstructure --- wrought aluminium alloy --- homogenization annealing --- thermodynamic equilibrium --- intermetallic phases --- differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) --- characterization methods --- scalability --- mechanical properties --- aluminium alloys --- aluminium --- ageing --- quasicrystal --- transmission electron microscopy --- aluminium alloy --- SLM --- auxetic structures --- numerical analysis --- fatigue --- Al alloy 7075-T6 --- ultrasonic fatigue --- artificial pits --- pre-corrosion --- crack initiation --- 7xxx aluminum series --- early precipitation stages --- corrosion --- Al3(Sc,Zr) particles --- annihilation of positrons --- activation energy --- material flow --- asymmetric weld --- tensile strength --- VPPA --- aluminum alloy AA5083 --- rapid solidification --- melt spinning --- high-strength aluminum --- extrusion --- bimodal microstructure --- precipitations

Metal-based composites represent a unique way of tailoring the properties of metals, through the selection of type, size, and amount of reinforcement. In this way, the properties of metallic matrices can be adjusted depending on end applications. In view of the dynamic capabilities they can exhibit, this Special Issue will cover all aspects of metal matrix composites: synthesis (including solid, liquid, two-phase and 3D printing); secondary processing; properties (tensile, compressive, fatigue, impact, creep, tribological, etc.); corrosion behavior; and joining techniques. The main objective is to share the latest results on metal matrix composites with the research community worldwide.
