An overview of automotive aluminum alloys and their applications as sheet, extrusions, and castings. Rather than to inform, the emphasis of the chapter is to lead
Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, and its alloys with high specific strength and low density are promising lightweight materials for automotive applications
Advanced high-strength steels, aluminum and magnesium alloys, and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers have emerged as important materials for automotive
